'''Android''' is a Linux-based mobile phone operating system based developed by Google. It is very similar to the [[iPhone]], with a touchscreen for some or all user interactions, depending on the hardware, and a market for third-party applications.
=Synchronization=
Synchronization of contacts, calendar events and email is possible through three mechanisms.
==Google Web Applications==
Google web applications are the default on some systems like the HTC Eris. Beware that giving your phone your Gmail credentials can result in your phone contacts being drowned in a flood of email contacts imported from Gmail. If you don't want to use Google's services, navigate to Settings->Data synchronization->Google and uncheck Auto-sync and Background data.
==ActiveSync==
Located under Settings->Data synchronization->Exchange ActiveSync, the originally proprietary ActiveSync protocol allows for fully configurable over-the-air synchronization thanks to the open source [[Z-Push]] project.
