Google and Open Handset Alliance have announced that according to their promise the source code of the Android platform is available for anyone in the Android Open Source Project. Anyone can freely download, modify, compile the source code, develop applications for it and take his or her part in forming the system. The free use of the source code also means that anyone can easily customize the new software to match his own needs, thus the production of proprietary cell phones is possible in a shorter time. Google hopes that by accessing the source code new services can be developed even faster and cheaper for the open platform and this might help a lot in spreading the system even further. The source code can be downloaded from the source.android.com site.
