Getting it on

I has to be said: Android is pretty hot property right now. From an almost standing start, in the space of a year it has become the operating system installed in ten percent of all smartphones sold in the world, and is gaining fast on all its competitors.

Furthermore, many companies, such as chip-maker NVIDIA, which had previously failed to embrace Android, have now seen the error of their ways and are joining the likes of Qualcomm, HTC, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Vodafone in jumping on what is starting to look like a run-away bandwagon.

So the Android keynote at this year's Google developer-fest - Google I/O - was the most eagerly awaited of the event, bar possibly the Google TV announcement. For that reason, if you haven't already, we thought you'd like to see the keynote in full and have embedded all five parts of it below.

As we already know, the next flavour of Android was launched and most of the keynote is devoted to demonstrating the new features. But the introduction from Google engineering VP Vic Gundotra also features a dig at one specific smartphone competitor, which he doesn't name, but is undeniably Apple. It looks like this rivalry is getting even more heated.

I think it can only grow in popularity as time goes on. I've been a long time nokia/s60 guy (Ngage/(samsung :( )/N73/N96 but android just feels so much more pleasant to use I've made the switch!
