provided by Google™, you need a Google account.
What is different about Android?
Android™ is an open system, which means that you're not
limited to using applications and services from only one
provider.
Google™ account

emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends, and Google
Play™ to download applications and games, music,
movies and books.

and Google Calendar™.
