Last Tuesday, Google proudly announced the release of the source code for its much awaited mobile phone Android’s operating system. It is now available for everybody FREE of charge. By this bold move of making the operating system an open source code, Google is hoping that many applications will be written and appear for the mobile phone, as will cheaper phones. The Android is to be released under the Apache license. With this license, it doesnt obligate the developers to share the changes they made with the code in the open source community. It Google also hopes to enable manufacturers develop and innovate more on the platform so there will be differences with what phone manufacturers has to offer to the users.
