The first device that uses the open-source Android operating system, High Tech Computer Corporation’s (HTC) the Dream is due to be made available to United States consumers.
Search giant Google, who has promised users that the Android smartphone would allow them to run any application they wanted on the gadget, without any interference from the company( which would not ban or reject software submissions like Apple Incorporated does with apps that do not serve their interests), has now released the phone’s source code.

The Android Open Source Project website that has been launched consists of a project list, a feature description, guides to the roles people may play in the project and how they could contribute to the platform, along with the actual source-code.

 
The feature description includes apps such as Web Browser, Email and Media Player, while the Project Roles page informs that virtually any one can use the project’s resources and thus help enhance the Android operating system.

 
Developed under the Open Handset Alliance, which is a business alliance between Google, Intel, Motorola, Qualcom, Samsung, LG, T-Mobile, Nvidia and Wind River System seeking to develop open standards for mobile devices, the Android source code has been made public so that developers can freely modify and upgrade it.

Consequently, any programmer can download and run the code that creates a mobile phone and also, the Android software platform can become the basis of any manufacture’s gadget, which is expected to lead to rendering the smartphones accessibles to a larger user base.
