The magic was happening. That was a demonstration of really good and effective layering: just adapting the kernel to the hosting hardware was making it <em>up and running</em>.</p> <p>Now, with <a href="http://source.android.com/">the source code available to everyone</a>, the porting festival is becoming even larger, with small-medium company, as well as university guys, porting Android everywhere.</p>
