Advantages

Open-

Versions Upgrades-

All applications are equal-

Breaking down boundaries-

Fast and easy development-

Disadvantages

Dhiraj Ninave

Security – Making source code available to everyone inevitably

invites the attention of black hat hackers. Open Source –

Anyone can scrutinize the source code to find vulnerabilities and write exploits.Login –

Platform doesn't run on an encrypted file system and has a vulnerable log-in. Incompetence –

Google’s dependence on hardware and carrier partners puts the final product out of their control.

Future Scope

Conclusion

Dhiraj Ninave

• The community that Android has provided efficiently collects like minded people on one platform and gives them proper channels to express themselves and provides them with all the necessary help and guidance.

• With the expansion of Android, the community based on it would also expand and this would certainly be useful for people lacking resources since the aim of the open source community is to bring forward those people who have talent but lack the resource to showcase that talent. 

• It is still Beta.
