Viewpoint: Top 10 drivers for embedded Android
,----[ Quote ]
| 2. Source code: Android provides a
| comprehensive set of source code,
| specifically created by the Android team,
| that leverages existing open-source projects
| to provide a complete and cohesive software
| stack. There are currently more than 200
| separate Git trees in the public Android
| repository. Not only is there source for the
| core packages, but many hardware-component
| vendors have decided to provide source code
| for specific drivers. This source is also
| actively managed by a vibrant community.
| Clearly, this is a benefit for anybody
| wanting to optimize these components for a
| specific target.

Is the Android truly open source?

| Verizon, one of the biggest cell service
| providers (and not a member of the Alliance,
| which says something in itself) is dropping the
| Nexus One. HTC, which is an Alliance member,
| isn't sharing the code for its custom Sense UI
| layer for Android, as would normally be
| expected in, you know, an open source alliance.

| At the most recent Mobile World Congress,
| Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed that the
| companyâs partners are now selling over 60,000
| Android handsets on a daily basis. With that
| kind of growth rate, itâs no wonder that the
| size of the Android Market is increasing in
| its slipstream.
