Android Architecture
Applications:Core applications email client, SMS program, calendar, maps, browser, contacts and others. Java programming language.
Application Framework:Open development platform extremely rich and innovative applications. Developers are free to take advantage of the device hardware, access location information, run background services, set alarms, add notifications to the status bar, and much, much more.
Android Architecture
Libraries:C/C++ libraries used by various components of Android system Some of the core libraries are System C library, Media libraries, Surface Manager, LibWebCore, SGL, SQLite.
Android Runtime:Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine.
The Dalvik VM relies on the Linux kernel for underlying functionality such as threading and low-level memory management.
Linux Kernel:Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.

Market Predictions
Firstly, Android is going to be bigger in terms of consumer reach than its rival, the iPhone OS. Secondly, Google's support will everything possible in this Internet era. make
Gartner Information Technology Research 14 percent from less than 2 percent by 2012 and Symbians slide will continue.
Final Comments
Giants like Nokia and Microsoft are not the part of the OHA, so Android wont become so powerful for now. Microsofts windows mobile has a big selling point in the form of , its integrity with Microsoft Office and other Microsoft-owned tools. Hence we can say that Android has its own challenges, like its development task. It all depends upon the future investments, and innovations upon the development of an all-encompassing new technology.
