Hi Gerry,
Android is an operating system developed by Google which runs on various
models of mobile devices. Other examples are Symbian (mainly the Nokia
handsets we have all come to know and love), Apple IOS, Blackberry OS
and Windows Phone 7.
The equivalent in computer land is Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac OS etc.
Basically it's the software on which a device is built.
Android is open source, so is a lot less restrictive than say for
example the Apple IOS. It also runs on a variety of devices from
different manufacturers. By all accounts it's not as slick as the IOS
though, however since it's available on more devices there's more
choice, and prices are more affordable.
In terms of accessibility it's not quite there yet, although it is
improving with every new update. I wouldn't recommend it at present
though.
Hope this helps,
Ciaran
