What is Android?

For some reason over the past two weeks I've had friends and colleagues coming up to me and asking What is android? This is a, hopefully short, post to try and answer that question. In an effort to keep this post short, I'm making statements without necessarily backing them up with argument. If anyone disagrees with ...

What’s in a name - “Open Kernel Labs”

When we were coming up with the name Open Kernel Labs, one of those three words, “Kernel,” was an obvious choice, because the core technology is a pure microkernel.

When I was first introduced to Open Kernel Labs, the word that most intrigued me was Labs.

How does OK Lab’s virtualization technology keep devices safe from hackers?
