Google It's official, Google has Open Sourced Android. The initial release of the source code is available via Google's Git repository with bugs, FAQs, documentation, etc. handled via Android's Google Code project page. Android's licensing structure and project organization seems to be trying to create something akin to the Eclipse Foundation, mixing individual and commercial interests into a development pot for the collective benefit of the platform on a whole.

I really want to try it out on my Nokia N810. They had one of the earlier builds working, but they didnt try to put alot of work into getting all the pieces working, being that the last source available was from a earlier beta build. Even though the N810 doesnt have a phone, i think it would be kewl to use some of the aps for GPS. Offline GPS.
