Android Phone Curriculum
An Android™ phone, is a mobile telephone that uses the Google-developed Android™ operating system. This operating system has become a popular option in recent years for so-called “smart phones,” because developers and manufacturers may freely customize it to their specific needs. This customization means that different Android™ phones can have widely varying user interfaces. Most smart phones — including those using competing operating systems — offer similar overall capabilities, however, including Internet browsing, personal information management, video streaming, and access to a large repository of freeware and pay ware applications, requires careful attention to detail and considerable education.
All American Solutions will show you how to become a pro when it comes to using the many features and capabilities of a smart phone.
