Google’s Android operating system is quickly overtaking Apple’s share of the smartphone market – with Google activating 100,000 new Android phones everyday, compared with just 30,000 daily last year. Google state they are shipping 9 million Android phones every quarter compared to 8.75 million iPhones*, a truly meteoric rise for an operating system that was only launched in late 2008.

LG have released a booklet explaining all there is to know about Android to coincide with the release of their latest Android phone, the Optimus GT540. This talks you through simple things like the use of the Calendar and how to sync your phone with your Google mail account through to the more advanced functions like syncing your phone with your computer to back-up any important information. With app suggestions for every aspect of your life, from social networking, shopping and cooking through to travel and even astronomy, LG are backing Android to be here to stay.
