The word on everybody’s lips in Barcelona this week has been: ‘Android’. No there haven’t been any exclusive snippets of the forthcoming Terminator movie released; I am of course referring to Google who have been flexing their muscles and look set to storm the mobile phone software market.

So what’s so good about Android? Well, most importantly, Android allows the user to sync whatever is entered onto the handset to tour computer, and vice versa. E.g. enter a new contact with phone number and email address and it will automatically be added to your address book on your PC, so you’ll never have to worry about losing your contacts as they are automatically backed up.

So if you lose or break your phone, and let’s face it this is a regular occurrence for some people, everything stored on your phone – contacts, text messages, emails, bookmarked websites, calendar, IM chats etc is saved to your Google account and is backed up on your PC so you’ll never lose it.
