 Google Play is the online software store developed by Google for Android
devices. As of October 2011there were more than 300,000 apps available for
Android, and the estimated number of applicationsdownloaded from the
Android Market as of December 2011 exceeded 10 billion. The operating
systemitself is installed on 130 million total devices.Only devices that comply
with Googles compatibility requirements are allowed to preinstall
Googlesclosed-source Play Store app and access the Market. The Market filters
the list of applications presentedby the Market app to those that are
compatible with the users device, and developers may restricttheir
applications to particular carriers or countries for business reasons.Google has
participated in the Play Store by offering several applications themselves,
including GoogleVoice (for the Google Voice service), Sky Map (for watching
stars), Finance (for their finance service),Maps Editor (for their MyMaps
service), Places Directory (for their Local Search), Google Goggles
thatsearches by image, Gesture Search (for using finger-written letters and
numbers to search the contentsof the phone), Google Translate, Google
Shopper, Listen for podcasts and My Tracks, a joggingapplication. In August

orfrom third party app stores such as the Amazon Appstore

18. Android Smartphones
 Android smartphones have the ability to report the location
of Wi-Fi access points, encountered asphone users move
around, to build databases containing the physical locations
of hundreds ofmillions of such access points. These
databases form electronic maps to locate
smartphones,allowing them to run apps like Foursquare,
Latitude, Places, and to deliver location-based ads.Third
party monitoring software such as TaintDroid, an academic
research-funded project, can, insome cases, detect when
personal information is being sent from applications to
remote servers.In March 2012 it was revealed that Android
Apps can copy photos without explicit user
permission,Google responded they "originally designed the
Android photos file system similar to those of
othercomputing platforms like Windows and Mac OS. Weve
always had policies in place to remove anyapps on Android
Market that improperly access your data."
