As Product Manager Erick Tseng tells eWeek, the SDK didn’t include the system’s network and telephony layers. With today’s release, anyone can actually build and release their own phone using Android software. (Well, anyone with the technical abilities and resources.) Open-sourcing Android also means that anyone can contribute to the platform’s code.

Even if you're not planning to ship a mobile device any time soon, Android has a lot to offer. Interested in working on a speech-recognition library? Looking to do some research on virtual machines? Need an out-of-the-box embedded Linux solution? All of these pieces are available, right now, as part of the Android Open Source Project, along with graphics libraries, media codecs, and some of the best development tools I've ever worked with.
