great news indeed.
i am sick of locked-in mobile platforms. regardless of it being google or not at the helm, it is a very good move.

Pretty soon every mobile phone is going to be able to use the same power upper thing ... charger?
The same charger.

Sergey Brin summed it up pretty well:
"Ten years ago I was sitting in a grad school cubicle, and we were able to build incredible things. There was a set of tools that enabled that... open source... Linux, GNU, python... all those pieces (and many more) allowed us to do great things and distribute it to the world. That's what we're looking at today. We're going to distribute the code, it's going to be freely available..."

that is a painful read so far. It's a bunch of execs circle jerkin' their potential products so far. Can someone tell me what what OHA stands for? I'm going to have to re-visit that page in a hour or two.
even better, someone plz summarize that babble up for me when it's over. My old ass concussion ridden brain can't handle the truth.

Slightly offtrack - an interesting OpEd from TheReg surmising Google's ulterior motivation for beefing up the MySQL framework..

I'd rather not have a phone that's full of ads.

Presumably, with Android being open-platform, you'll be able to download a third party ad-blocker doohickey, Lloyd.

A linux based open-source OS, with full access to the phone hardware... isn't the Symbian? (not trolling, actually curious).
- detritus0
Symbian is neither Open Source, nor based on Linux.
You can develop for it on Linux, but Symbian is a proprietary standard, I think developed from the ashes of Psion's old 'OS' - essentially a forerunner's to today's smartphone functionality.
