Android Market should stimulate Open Source Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| For Google this is also good because with
| open source multiple people can start
| contributing to apps such that they can
| improve faster. Furthermore people can
| start new projects by simply reusing open
| source code of other Open Source Android
| applications. All in all it will spur
| innovation and improve quality of
| applications and in the end thatâs good for
| Google because the platform will become
| more popular.
|
| Furthermore it fits in the Google policy
| that they stimulate Open Source.

Mobile World Congress: Content plans reveal likely mobile winners and losers

| 2. Google's Android platform gained
| critical mass 18 months from launch,
| heralding the rise of the open source OS.
| Juniper said. Android had been as much
| about as enabling search and services
| across different devices as capturing OS
| market share. This had prompted Nokia to
| open-source its Symbian environment and was
| being followed by Nokia and Intel, which
| combined efforts to launch the Linux-based
| MeeGo platform .

Porting Android 2.x to Sony Xperia â Psh. Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 â Now weâre talkinâ
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the greatest things about a more
| open platform for smartphones I believe, is
| the ability to (if you choose) customize it
| until youâre hearts content. From personal
| experience, I swap ROMâs every couple of
| days on my DROID trying out the updates and
| newcomers to the custom DROID ROM scene
| alike. But porting various ROMâs developed
| for your phone, or at the very least, the
| phoneâs operating system, are rather easy
| all things considered. Especially so when
| comparing a simple ROM port from one
| Android device to the next against porting
| a full blown desktop OS to a Sony Xperia
| X1. Oh yeah, itâs real.
