| 2 | |
| 3 | Android is an open-source software stack created for mobile phones and |
| 4 | other devices. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP), led by Google, is |
| 5 | tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android. Many device |
| 6 | manufacturers have brought to market devices running Android, and they are |
| 7 | readibly available around the world. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Our primary purpose is to build an excellent software platform for everyday |
| 10 | users. A number of companies have committed many engineers to achieve this |
| 11 | goal, and the result is a full production quality consumer product whose |
| 12 | source is open for customization and porting. |
