Google releases Android source code
On the 21st of October 2008, Google released the source code of its mobile OS android, encouraging developers to hack it (iterative development). This opens the door for programmers who wish to un-Googleize the OS (ie removing all the Google-oriented software), or make it run on other hardware (such as the *wink* iPhone for example). Google will also hold an an annual “Android Developers Challenge”, awarding prize money for innovative software tailored to the platform.
