<h2>Electrum for Android</h2>
This page explains how to install Electrum on Android devices.<br/><br/>
Please note that Electrum is not distributed as a binary package, but
as python source code; this gives users the possibility to see what
the code is doing, and to check that it does not contain malware. The
downside is that installation is slightly more complicated than
downloading an app on the Android market, but it remains very
simple. <br/><br/>
It is possible to print this page on paper and to install everything from
QR codes. If you encounter problems, you may find help at
