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