" Well and what of course -- you know is the open source operating system that Google launched about a year ago it's a very big week for android you know they're biting their nails -- out here because. We are having Motorola tomorrow lots of adroit fund which -- holding up right now. It's getting a lot of attention and a lot of reviews so exclusively here on Fox Business. We have the vice president of -- right here Google Marty you can't it's nice to see you thank you for being here feel it. Well let's of people who don't understand what's going on with this landscape pick up a phone they start using it. What is android and why do you think it's better than the big competitors like Apple and of course Microsoft they have their own systems. And it is a free open source operating system what that means that we've built a powerful. Piece of software. That done any device manufactured. -- carrier can take and actually bill into their phones for free and it's very powerful and that it allows those device to be connected to the Internet. Motorola Samsung. HTC are some of the biggest names that are using it and the android system and -- the building -- We were correct correct they're they're building phones -- out and they're building very. Powerful phones and android is also very. Customizable so that they can build the experience which they believe -- the best experience for their consumers why do I need them try to find like my Blackberry I let my iPhone. Why should I split. Android first of all is he's very open for developers that would -- platform which allow apps developers. To very easy to design something which will be very useful to you as a consumer. And put it into the android market very quickly quickly so that you can. From what you like doing your it launched a year ago by the way one found one country and now what's it. It's android just had its first birthday following the launch of one device. In one country one carrier last year. Right now we have twelve devices in 26 countries paid to carriers and nineteen languages."

" Okay let me reach some of the reviews Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal looked at the end Detroit found with the android and says that if you're matching up against iPhone he likes Detroit better for. GPS -- the customize ability and the phone network. But he feels that the iPhone simplicity of refinement and web browsing are better what do you say to them."

" is. He's an ecosystem where we're very proud of -- partnership that we have -- Motorola or Verizon for the but adroit device and with other manufactures and and carriers. -- actually is on. On a path to deliver. Fast web browsing. The fastest applications. And and really to give. Engineers of our partners in the ecosystem the opportunity. To to innovate and to continue to improve on well on the talk about the apps there about 12000 it's growing every week 12000 maps for I think android phones but. A 100000. For the iPhone. -- behind do you think you catch up. Our strategy is one again based on partnerships partnerships with device manufacturers and with carriers. And we believe that those partnerships are going to need to. Numerous devices that are going to go onto the market last question here you guys always used the word free around here Google. How do you offer so much for free without going out of business and am looking at this and think is going to go broke -- offering all the stuff for -- when you chart. And artistry. And we don't charge for for -- And forever change. It android is about. Making it -- For. Consumers to go on to be an Internet until on their devices Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally useful and accessible. In -- does exactly that for mobile devices and what's good for. For consumers if consumers on the Internet it's good for developers it's good for advertisers and it's good for global Mario -- vice president over at android that Stuart you -- it. They do offer so much for free here because it's almost like on Wal-Mart has that door busters where they cut the price so much just to get people in the door. But there's no price here free for the moment so we're watching this very closely it's a big horse race. "

" And got a list thanks so much admitted fat we've got one of these droll aids which is the name of the followed as opposed to the android which is -- the name of the system that it operates on right."
