Most of you must know what Android is. For those of you who don't, think of it as the competent younger brother of the Apple iPhone Operating System (OS). So what's different about it?
Well, the good thing about Android is that it has a wide(r) variety of facilities and is flexible enough for the everyday user. I, being an Android user myself, am quite well-versed with this OS.
Perhaps the most prominent aspect of the Android OS is the Widgets it offers. A Widget is an application which has a Graphical User Interface (GUI); it can be anything. From the simplest reminder to a complex sub-system in an OS, everything is a Widget.
Every device with an Android OS will definitely have direct or indirect access to the Android Market. This is the place where most of your widgets can be bought or downloaded for free. Of course, there are other free sources from where apps and widgets can be got, but the most reliable origin is the Market. But always be careful because the only and perhaps biggest weakness of the Android OS is that is is highly vulnerable to viruses. In case your phone or tablet has a widget with a virus, you must 'quarantine' that folder which means that it must not be opened or used for any purpose (other than deletion); otherwise, the virus gets transferred to the other folders with a greater storage capacity. Regular 'check-up' and 'disinfection' of the device is necessary because, once a problem is acquired, it sticks.
Widgets and Apps will be described in greater detail in the other posts.
