Android is one of the most poular mobile OS found in the market. iOS is a huge competition for android. But however android is free of cost. That single feature would easily defeat iOS. Most of the people in India dont have an android mobile and they are just waiting to see the appearance of android including me. Even I am a crazy fan of android and I too love to see the appearance of it. A few days back I got a tutorial on how to install android on a pc. I thought that it wouldn't work. But to my surprise I successfully installed android and it now dual boots along with ubuntu on my system. Now I am here to share about the topic. Now lets get started.
