Google's Android SDK (gPhone)

When Google first announced Android and it’s SDK (Software Developers Kit), I admit to not paying much attention.

It’s not that I ignored it. Actually, I thought it was a really interesting idea. In fact I thought it was a very workable way of convincing the community to develop the infamous gPhone.

I was wrong.

I now realize that Android is not just interesting, it truly is inspirational, and I think it will result in the community developing not the gPhone, but rather THE gPhone. Not a phone defined by Google, but a phone defined by the development community. As in “G” for Group phone.

This could be THE big open source development project.

Take a closer look:

Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz discuss the availability of the SDK, that it will be open source in the future, and demo some applications.
