If you're new to Android (and even if you aren't), you'll quickly discover that there are a ton of terms to keep up with. And to that end we've worked up the official Android Central Android Dictionary. Pretty self-explanatory, eh?

You can check out the Android Dictionary here.

That said, we're bound to be missing something. If so, sing out in this thread and we'll get it added.

So far I've noticed it's missing "Sense" and "Vanilla".

"YouTube: Google's web-based streaming video service. Accessible from and Android phone."

That "and" probably should be "an".
