Google Releases Android Programming Kit

Posted by Susan Hall Nov 12, 2007 4:41:06 PM

Though the phones won't be out until next year, developers already can start writing software based on Google's Android platform, reports News.com blogger Stephen Shankland.  On Monday, Google and its Open Handset Alliance released an "early look" version of its Android programming tools for download.

 

In addition, Google announced a contest with $10 million in prizes to sweeten the deal for  developers who build  mobile applications based on the Android technology, notes Computerworld. Android will provide an operating system, a user interface, middleware and applications for smartphones.

 

The open source software development kit is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and uses the Java  programming language on the Linux-based phones.
