Bangalore: Google, the internet giant search engine, will now foray into the Indian and Chinese markets with its Android mobile software competing against Apple's iPhone and Nokia's Symbian. Andy Rubin, Vice President of Engineering at Google said, "The down-market opportunity is about to happen and it is quite a revolution."
Developers of Android applications can acquire money both from the purchase of the product and even from the advertisement revenue. Besides this Google intends to join hands with those spectrum of the mobiles like LG and Huawei which are low priced. Huawei had introduced four Android Mobiles and a tablet device.
Through this Google wishes that the number of applications open to Android users will rise. The Android OS has 65,000 applications compared to 200,000 programmes offered by Apple.
In spite of the 77 percent of Apple's App store revenue against Android's 9 percent, the iPhone is a little ahead of Google's Android in terms of the worldwide usage. The Gartner Research holds that Google will outmatch the iPhone's iOS in most popular mobile software by 2012.
