Hi,

I am new to Android and would like to understand the concept. Some beginners questions:

Is android truly open in the sense that one can you distribute apps without having to pay Google / operator (or anyone else)?

Can the user upload apps to the phone without google / operator intervention (for example by going directly to a site)? How is the upload actually done?

Will there automatically be google ads in the Android application or is this controlled by the app developer / user?

Thanks,
Dan

---Yes it is open source feel free to download the sdk and repo builds of the current release from here : Get source ?(Android Open Source Project)?


Can the user upload apps to the phone without google / operator intervention (for example by going directly to a site)? How is the upload actually done?

---Yes, you can get the apps from anywhere and install from the SD card, or from your computer using ADB... you can learn more here: Android Debug Bridge | Android Developers


Will there automatically be google ads in the Android application or is this controlled by the app developer / user?

---No, the ads are added in by the developers....
