Google has finally
released Android, the opensource platform that will be used by the
Open Handset Alliance. The platform is based in the Linux kernel, freetype, sqlite, webkit, a 2D/3D subsystem and other pieces, but the application framework is built in Java using a embedded-optimized VM called Dalvik. The SDK is
available for Linux, Mac and Win and it includes an emulator. Video
here.
Update: The WebKit browser failed to render the desktop version of OSNews, so now we feed it
our mobile one.
