Android is now open sourced as promised...This is huge. The concept of an end to end mobile OS stack, run time engine, Webkit browser, etc ALL open sourced.
For those not in the industry, what this means is that hopefully the Android effort and investments will enable handset makers to leapfrog into a best-of-breed high end mobile OS FOR FREE (as compared to paying Nokia or Microsoft on a per-license basis). Lets hope that savings is reinvested into innovation on top of the platform.
A video outlining the launch of the Open Source code is below:
