Google's mobile phone and tablet operating system, a direct rival to
Apple's iOS. Where iOS is more about simplicity and flashy looks, Android is about customization and control over the hardware that you bought with your hard-earned dollar. (In most cases, less of your dollars, compared to iPhone/iPad)
Example:
iPhone owner: Man, I love this new iPhone4.
Angry Birds renders great on the new display, but I wish it was just a bit faster.
Android owner: Well, why don't you
compile an overclockable
kernel then?
iPhone owner: I Google searched for one, and there ain't any.
Android owner: Lol

A
robotic creation designed to
mimic the look and often behavior of a human male; from the Greek "andr-," meaning "man," and the suffix "-eides," meaning "of the species; alike." Female-form robots are known as "gynoids," although coloquially android or the gender-neutral diminuitive "
droid" can refer to both.

iPhone killer!

A

Androids that mimic people are called humanoids.
Example:
If the anime show has a science-fiction
theme, it will most likely
contain an android of some kind, be it animal,
plant, or human.

IOS's competing mobile operating system. Its very likely for phones that are not made by apple to run android. Android and IOS are the only 2
big players in the world of mobile
OS's. Android is owned by google, a data hungry corporation, while the competition is owned by a maker of expensive products. If you want to have a modern phone that doesn't love invading your data, but isn't over priced like apple, good luck. Android has many devout fans that put down iPhone users.

Androids are artificially-created beings that are made to look and act like humans - in advanced cases, they are
indistinguishable. As machines, they are often shown as possessing stronger logic and
reasoning than real humans; however, this logic can also limit them, as they can have difficulty
processing emotional concepts or social relationships.
