Android is over 10 years old
On September 23, 2008, the first Android phone HTC Dream (also known as T-Mobile G1) was launched, equipped with Android 1.0 system. The Android system at the time was particularly rough, and the Android Market (later Google Play) had only a few applications.
In ten years, Android has changed a lot regarding functionality, and its small robots have many changes:
