| <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> |
