Whois & Analysis for apkive.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.

AMP (originally an acronym for Accelerated Mobile Pages) is an open source HTML framework developed by the AMP Open Source Project.

It was originally created by Google as a competitor to Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News.

AMP is optimized for mobile web browsing and intended to help webpages load faster.

AMP pages may be cached by a CDN, such as Microsoft Bing or Cloudflare's AMP caches, which allows pages to be served more quickly.

A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch.

Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.

Freeware is software, most often proprietary, that is distributed at no monetary cost to the end user.

There is no agreed-upon set of rights, license, or EULA that defines freeware unambiguously; every publisher defines its own rules for the freeware it offers.

For instance, modification, redistribution by third parties, and reverse engineering are permitted by some publishers but prohibited by others.

Unlike with free and open-source software, which are also often distributed free of charge, the source code for freeware is typically not made available.

Freeware may be intended to benefit its producer by, for example, encouraging sales of a more capable version, as in the freemium and shareware business models.
