Android Part 2.

The post is guest blogged by the
Android Guys and is providing a
brief overview of what the new
Android is all about. This post is
part 2 of 2 in what we are calling
the Android series.

Hey everyone this is Scott again from AndroidGuys, doing a little guest blogging thanks to Big Pappa!

If you currently own a cell phone or plan to in the future, Android will probably play a part in your experience. Google created Android with 33 other companies called the Open Handset Alliance. Essentially what they are doing is taking control away from cellular providers and giving it to the consumers. By providing less restriction, you will be able to do more with your phone than ever before without barriers getting in your way.

About The Android Guys:

While there may be a handful of excellent tech/mobile/gadget sites out there with thousands of readers, we found that nobody was covering Android specifically. We created the site as a project between a few friends who wanted to post our own daily findings about Android. As a community blog, we wanted to avoid the constant "Hey, did you see Google is doing this…?" situations. We intended to direct our friends there whenever they were asking questions. We realized very quickly that nobody else was doing this on any level, so we took it from our secret site to a larger audience. We've seen our traffic grow leaps and bounds in just over 10 weeks. Daily posts of facts, rumors, and opinion is what our readers have come to expect.We cull information together from a variety of news sources and report on what we feel is the most relevant. We also write our own opinion pieces every few days about anything related to the mobile industry in general.

I watched a few weeks back as an iPod Touch was given away here and was very excited to see the level of participation that the blogging community had. So excited in fact, that we decided to throw our own contest for our Entrecard brothers and sisters. Although we aren't giving away actual hardware or devices, we figured we pay tribute to what got us here in the first place. Entrecard credits!
