Android is the first free, open source, and fully customizable mobile platform. Android offers a full stack: an operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications. It also contains a rich set of APIs that allows third-party developers to develop great applications.

I am wondering what will happen with other mobile application stuff being used widely, now there’s Android which has been released by Google.  Will there be an end to those, like OpenMoko? Time will tell.

This will be good and fun way to start out! I hope I still have time to try this one though.
