Today Android is considered as number one operating system. There are so many things the users can do with their Android based devices that are not possible in handsets with rival platforms.

Users can use their home screen real estate to the maximum by making optimum use of the widgets. Also, users must sort out the best widgets for them.

Most users prefer to receive notification sound when they receive an email, and then there are other power users who don't want any sound. They can go to the settings menu of the Gmail and choose the silent option of ringtone. The new message alerts appear at the top of the screen which can be brought down to get the detailed view as well.

For every Android user, there are certain contacts they call frequently. Setting up one touch dialing for them is the best way to keep in touch with them all the time. For this users have to hold their finger on empty space and choose the option "Shortcuts".

Then comes the option "Direct Dial" and they can choose their contact from the contact list. If they want to send one touch SMS instead, they can choose the option "Direct Message" as well. Users can also bring their favourite sites to the home screen by simply long pressing the site in the bookmarks and then by choosing the option "Add Shortcut to home".

There are certain Android utilities which allow the users to browse through the phone just like computer. One such utility is Astro, which is a file management tool and allows the users to move and delete files as per their convenience. For cutting and pasting, users just need to long press on a text input field.
