Google To Everyone. Here Is The Android Code

The first Android phone hits T-Mobile stores tomorrow. For the launch, Google has made available the entire codebase for Android including the linux kernel, application platform, system library, graphics, browser, and more.
Head of Android, Rich Miner says “This is probably the largest repository of open source code that has been released at any one time. We have worked on the things we thought were important. But there is still a lot of work to do in all aspects of the platform, from tying it into different carrier networks. multimedia, speech recognition, and the graphic subsystems.”
This is a big win for Google in terms of providing an open mobile enviornment to the community that could spark a next generation of how phones come to power up. Now we have to hope that it is embraced by the open source community and watch what kind of crazy layers over that linux are produced.
