Why Google Android
Google Android is one of the leading mobile operating system. Today Android market is increasing its downloadable applications rapidly even more faster than Apple iOS App Store. Even though XWiki can be viewed over the Android mobile browser it is more reliable and faster to have a mobile application since it fits the mobile screen and can give more services with an application than an ordinary web based interface.
