A commitment to openness, a shared vision for the future, and concrete plans to make the vision a reality.Welcome to the Open Handset Alliance™, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies who have come together to accelerate innovation in mobile and offer consumers a richer, less expensive, and better mobile experience. Together we have developed Android™, the first complete, open, and free mobile platform.
We are committed to commercially deploy handsets and services using the Android Platform in the second half of 2008. An early look at the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) will be available on November 12th.

Cosa dicono i papà di Android
Android™ will deliver a complete set of software for mobile devices: an operating system, middleware and key mobile applications. On November 12, we will release an early look at the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow developers to build rich mobile applications.
Open
Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It is built to be truly open. For example, an application could call upon any of the phone's core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that has been designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android will be open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build innovative mobile applications.

Tutti lo chiedevano e lui sotto un certo punto di vista non è arrivato.
Un pò quasi me l'aspettavo ma col senno di poi direte voi "son bravi tutti a parlare".
Dopo tutto di costruttori di hardware ce ne sono tanti perché aggiungerne uno?
Meglio così :)
A Google interessano le informazioni, il resto delle business lo lascia agli altri, giustamente!
Ma torniamo al tema del post
Android sarà open (Apache license v2), nasce già come fù per Symbian sotto un consorzio nutrito di membri, ma cosa realmente farà la differenza di Google Android?
Da ex-programmatore pentito vi posso assicurare che, se l'SDK sarà funzionale se ci sarà un IDE che permetterà un facile sviluppo di applicazioni multi device (ognuno ha le sue caratteristiche) e se le applicazioni saranno portabili (tra device e device) allora siamo davanti ad una bella rivoluzione, per di più Open, ma staremo a vedere.
Nel mentre ci sono i soliti che ancora non accennano a stare zitti, come successo per iPhone, e che invece di tentare di riacquistare credibilità sputano solo veleno :)
Lunga vita ad Android, la concorrenza non guasta mai ;)
