Android (operating system)
From Wikipedia (FYI):

Quote:
Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005, Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance: a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. The first publicly available smartphone running Android, the HTC Dream, was released on October 22, 2008.

uhmodem

UHMODEM(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						UHMODEM(4)

NAME

     uhmodem -- USB support for Huawei 3G wireless modem device

SYNOPSIS

     uhmodem*  at uhub?
     ucom*  at uhmodem?

HARDWARE

     The uhmodem driver supports the following adapters:

	   Huawei E220
	   E-mobile D01HW
	   E-mobile D02HW
	   NTT DoCoMo a2502

DESCRIPTION

     The uhmodem driver provides support for the Huawei 3G wireless modems and its variants.  This type of device has multiple com ports.  And
     some modems have own storage to contain its device driver (for Windows).  The uhmodem driver can handle all of these functions on the device.

     When the device attached, it will attach multiple ucom devices.  The former one is main com device to use communication with your network
     provider, and others are sub com devices to monitor the condition of data communication and/or network status.  These com devices can be used
     simultaneously.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).

SEE ALSO

     tty(4), ubsa(4), ucom(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

     The uhmodem driver first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.  Separate from ubsa driver.
