What the fucking GMS is?!

An android phone without all the google services? What the damn joke, you idiot!

It may be normal to have all the google applications and services on your android phone, for most of you. What if you bought one android phone but there is no google maps, google calenders, android market, and else which service is provided by Google.

That's what I'm gonna talk about, but you still may have following information by "Google it yourself!".

Android phone - which means an smart phone with android OS on it.

It's well-know that we can free to use many Google services on android phone, much more easier than other platform such as iOS. But what you don't know is, it doesn't free to have those services on your phone.

As you may already know that android OS is an open-source, free smart phone platform. But there are three kind of authorization provide by Google.
  1. Android OS - by the open source project of android OS, you may free to use all the source code yourself, customize and overwrite it.
  2. Android OS with Google Mobile services (limited) - GMS (Google Mobile services) can be pre-loaded into android OS before phone provider sells the phone. And phone providers can limit the application user can find on android market. (EX: You may find out there is an "HTC" area in market home page if you use market by HTC's phone with the newest version. But limited doesn't mean only by this!)
  3. Android OS with GMS, and Google Experience mark - if your phone has a Google lable marked on it. This android OS with GMS without any limit.

So, you may find out phone providers may sell android phone which won't contain GMS in some areas, due to some reasons. Also you may discover some platform has been named by adding some feature but use android OS.

What will it like if you have your android phone without GMS? You may think about it!

P.S. Google Mobile Services has been list on Google Mobile website.
