    SECURITY
    Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the system) runs in its own process. Most security between applications and the system is enforced at the process level through standard Linux facilities, such as user and group IDs that are assigned to applications. Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a "permission" mechanism that enforces restrictions on the specific operations that a particular process can perform, and per-URI permissions for granting ad-hoc access to specific pieces of data.

    ADVANTAGES
    There are a host of advantages that Googles Android will derive from being an open source software. Some of the advantages include: The ability for anyone to customize the Google Android platform The consumer will benefit from having a wide range of mobile applications to choose from since the monopoly will be broken by Google Android Men will be able to customize a mobile phones using Google Android platform like never before

    LIMITATIONS
    Bluetooth limitations Android doesn't support: Bluetooth stereo Contacts exchange Wireless keyboards Video calling is not possible till Version 2.2(Froyo)

    SUMMARY
    Solid, proven, popular, open platform Used on wide range of devices Support from Google, OEMs, telcoms Low barriers to entry Major opportunity for new developers Creativity, hard work, persistence
