Android Open Source Project
An introduction to Android Open Source Project. Android is the first free, open source, and fully customizable mobile platform. Android offers a full stack: an operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications. It also contains a rich set of APIs that allows third-party developers to develop great applications.

It’s important that distinct platform specs become defined, else the worst fragmentation ever will result which is of great confusion to developers and the SW market.
How to become an Android developper…(training in french) : Search “android video2brain” in google !
you are all victims, dont support googles goal to rule the world u idiots
this fat guy is gay, lol
forever Windows Mobile
Google are behaving like facists, Microsoft is FAR more “OPEN” than Google, a terrible pity, but true. Have a look at the hundreds of versions of windows mobile their community develop, and microsoft does nothing to stop it… Unlike Google who serve Andriod rom hackers with Cease and Desist orders… shame on you Google.
still better than Apple :/
If my undestanding is correct you said in minute 2:04 “HP Components”? Could you please tell me if this is correct. I am asking you this because Im
making some research about Android. Thanks.
He said “The Apache H.T.T.P.Components”
(I can’t write “H.T.T.P.” without dots!!)
could have done with some music, audio appears awkward.
They served one (uno, eins) modder, cyanogen, with a Cease and Desist, with legal basis. Android may be open source, but Google Experience apps (maps, youtube, browser, sync, market) are not. Cyanogen and everyone else were pushing it, but the last straw was when he included a leaked version of the new Market app. That prompted the C&D. But now, he’s worked with Android developers to get his modded firmware legal, with the option to get the apps from another source (HTCs images). tl;dr, facepalm
A little-known or little-ignored fact is that there was some friction within Google itself over the C&D. The C&D was from the legal department of Google while the Android team strongly disagreed with the C&D.
Regardless, Cyanogen is definitely doing the community a great service by keeping these custom firmwares in a good light with Google.
phone they will choose the phone with the best HARDWARE specs, (EX. Best camera, Best screen quality, Colors…etc…) This becomes a huge issue in business because you loose the “unique” aspect of your product and this decreases the “real value” …. unlike Apple iPhone, It is truly one of a kind… even though it is riskier and more costly to be the only phone running OS X, this makes iPhone Unique which creates greater “Real Value”
I really like android I think its a great idea, but my biggest problem with when you said, ” we just want Android to get all over the place”… My understanding is, if i were a developer. It would be very costly to create a nice UI that is catchy. So I would choose Android because its free and i would be able to save on costs… But the long-run problem I see with this is your phone just becomes a “conformist” and you loose the “unique-ness” of your phone. so when buyers decide on buying a
By what Google does with the Market -not letting users download and install the market app-, they clearly are going the “Microsoft way”.
“How might we best screw our users?”
“Oooh, i know, master: pretend we make an open source OS and then screw them with the market, so no-one we don’t like could use the said OS. It’s brilliant, i say, brilliant. Muhahahaha!”
@andreibuze
I was thinking the same
WAT WILL YOU DO WITH ANDROID
@ahennin4: UI’s other than the default Android one can be used like the HTC Sense UI and MotoBlur. I actually don’t like that since it’s kind of fracturing the platform and it would be better if the default interface was sleeker (which is happening somewhat with 2.1)
is an inspiring video
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT THE ANDROID FROM DOING YOU!
because in soviet Russia android does you!
What will I do with android?
first thing’s first: get the latest version of android to work with the LG Eve. 1.5 is just way too old
aaseriously guys there must be some nice men out there i am so lonely
if your a developer you have to pay a fee so therefore is put me off the idea for making my own app for free but android should do this for free and we could have more apps on the market, if people wont to make money out of it charge them
@calzep1 lmao!!1
SUPPORT ANDROID!!! Its ridiculous on the cost to publish or develop an Iphone app, You have to pay $100.00 for the developer kit and other api’s. But for android the SDK is Free and to publish an apps in the Market cost $25 Dollars (one time fee).
