What is Android Software?

Android software is a program that is capable of running on the Android mobile operating system provided by Google. Android is an open source operating system that anyone can make modifications to or create applications that can run with it. This differs dramatically from other mobile operating systems that are vendor-specific and are not interchangeable with other models and brands. Because Android is an open source, its software is also an open source, making Android software very compatible with other systems and popular among those systems' users. Several examples of free Android software are listed below.
