Whois & Analysis for apkcrest.com

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is primarily developed by Google.

It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008.

The Android Package with the file extension apk is the file format used by the Android operating system, and a number of other Android-based operating systems for distribution and installation of mobile apps, mobile games and middleware.

A file using this format can be built from source code written in either Java or Kotlin.

A mobile device (or handheld computer) is a computer, small enough to hold and operate in the hand.

Mobile devices typically have a flat LCD or OLED screen, a touchscreen interface, and digital or physical buttons.

They may also have a physical keyboard.

Many such devices can connect to the Internet and connect with other devices such as car entertainment systems or headsets via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks or near field communication.

Integrated cameras, the ability to place and receive voice and video telephone calls, video games, and Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities are common.

Power is typically provided by a lithium-ion battery.

Mobile devices may run mobile operating systems that allow third-party applications to be installed and run.

Free software or libre software or libreware is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price; all users are legally free to do what they want with their copies of a free software (including profiting from them) regardless of how much is paid to obtain the program.

Computer programs are deemed "free" if they give end-users (not just the developer) ultimate control over the software and, subsequently, over their devices.

An application program (software application, or application, or app for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users.

Word processors, media players, and accounting software are examples.

The collective noun "application software" refers to all applications collectively.

The other principal classifications of software are system software, relating to the operation of the computer, and utility software ("utilities").
