Android is the world phone
summary
Android already runs on 2 billion devices and global app revenue is projected to hit about $102B by 2020, with most growth in Brazil, India and China. Off Grid Electric installs solar systems in African villages and the field app initially fails: crews cannot mark tasks complete when offline. Fixes include shrinking APKs (Google’s 10 MB cutoff), aggressive caching and offline queues, using JobScheduler and GCM Network Manager for batched sync, and measuring power with Battery Historian to avoid battery drains from background sync.
