Google has acquired Android Inc. Little concrete information is known about Android except that the company is a 22-month-old startup based in Palo Alto, which has been working on applications related to mobile devices and cell phones.

Android co-founder Andy Rubin has a former background with mobile device maker Danger Inc. Two months before the formal creation of Android, Rubin discussed the potential in developing smarter mobile devices that are increasingly aware of its owner’s preferences and location, in an interview with BusinessWeek.

The acquisition of Android continues a line of recent purchases such as Dodgeball - a mobile social-networking application, Keyhole – map display technology. When added to this the recent rumored interest in Meetro – location based instant messenger and a Google nationwide Wi-Fi network, the possibilities for Google’s growth get quite interesting.
