Android open-source finally released
For those who do not know about Android it is an open-source mobile wireless operating system by Google (and the Open Handset Alliance). With smart phones being packed with more and more hardware it is refreshing to see another option coming into the scene. Last year Google formed the Open Handset Alliance, which is a group of several wireless operators, handset manufacturers, semiconductor companies, and software companies. Additional information regarding the open handset alliance may be found here.
Google on Tuesday released the open-source code which powers its Android mobile operating system and invited outside programmers to tinker with the software to develop their own features. "It's a complete, end-to-end software platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations," he said, inviting outside computer programmers to download Android and begin developing their own applications.
