Service Process -holding a Service - not directly visible to the user- relevant tasks
Background Process -holding an Activity - not visible to the user - can kill at any time(stopped) Empty Process -doesn't hold any active application components(as a cache to improve start-up time)

FINDINGS
Android uses proven technology like Java, XML andLinux There is an initial learning effort Android doesnt have many of the limitations of current
mobile platforms
It offers a rich API for application development Android is still in beta Android development is fun
