thanks Ciaran,  When I was reading the article Joeann put up the other day I 
was wondering if such programs would work on my nokia 6600 but that would be 
simbin Right? In thinking about the article and the recent developements I 
heard on the radio about the google vans going around mapping the country I did 
wonder how accessible it might be as a route finder.  But I suppose I would 
really need something like n iphone that has greater capabilities.Gerry

  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
