Android is the new platform adopted by google for the so called "Gphone" the announcement that google made a week ago that there will be actually a phone platform with the name google on it, and that there's a clean platform open for development is very nice to know
the linux based platform is clean and open source and has a set of features that satisfies every day mobile phone
- Application framework enabling reuse and replacement of components
- Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices
- Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit engine
- Optimized graphics powered by a custom 2D graphics library; 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification (hardware acceleration optional)
- SQLite for structured data storage
- Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
- GSM Telephony (hardware dependent)
- Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and WiFi (hardware dependent)
- Camera, GPS, compass, and accelerometer (hardware dependent)
- Rich development environment including a device emulator, tools for debugging, memory and performance profiling, and a plugin for the Eclipse IDE
well, it's up to open source developers to create a richer killer set of tools that would leverage this platform .., and the competition is here
