Ok folks, there’s no gPhone. That’s what Sergey Brin says. Instead, there’s what Google calls Android, an open-source platform for developing applications for mobile phones. Since it’s open-source, it will defiantly be free! So, watch the video from Google headquarters by Sergey Brin (founder of Google) and Steve Horowitz, about this cool new platform and SDK (software development kit).

dude, open source means free.
so it hasn’t actually been released?
Wow, i will look out for this, can u let me know how when it has been released?
SAD-MAN: No, it hasn’t been release as yet. However, you can click through to http://code.google.com/android.
Bhavna: Yip, I’ll definately let you know when Android will be released. You could also visit the link I posted above (to SAD-MAN) which takes you to the official website for the Android project.
You can also check TechZone, where a post will definately be put online when the platform releases
Thanks for visiting TechZone!
Um, by the way, SAD-MAN, you said “open source means free.” Well, actually, Open Source doesn;t necessarily mean free. It depends whether the developers release thier product freely or not, but what open source means, is that you are allowed to modify the source code of the application (if you understand the language in which the program was written – i.e. C++, Java, C# etc – of course).
