  <p>Here you can find the information and source code you need to build an
  Android-compatible device.</p>
  <p>Android is an open-source software stack for mobile devices, and a
  corresponding open-source project led by Google. We created Android in
  response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make
  sure that there was no central point of failure, so that no industry player
  can restrict or control the innovations of any other.  That's why we
  created Android, and made its source code open.</p>

these improvements helpful.</p>
<p><b>Introducing the Compatibility Program</b><br/>
We're pleased to introduce the Android Compatibility Program. We've released
two tools -- the Compatibility Definition Document and the Compatibility Test
Suite -- to help device manufacturers build compatible devices. Full details
of the Compatibility Program will be available in the first quarter of 2010.</p>
