The Open Handset Alliance, a group that includes Google, Motorola, Sprint, T-Mobile and others, on Monday released the Android software development kit (SDK).

http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=6961

Android is a platform based on the Linux 2.6 kernel, a set of libraries, multimedia interface and phone applications;
The platform includes the Dalvik virtual machine;
Android is based on the Apache v2 open source license.
The developer kit also includes a plug-in for the Eclipse integrated development environment.
The Open Handset Alliance also detailed requirements. They include:

To begin building applications for Android, developers will need to download the Android SDK to an x86-based computer running Windows XP or Vista; Mac OS 10.4.8 or later; or Linux Ubuntu Dapper Drake or later (other modern distributions of Linux will also likely work but are not directly supported).

Developers will also need Eclipse 3.2 or later, with Java Development Tools and the Android SDK’s plugin, or Java and Javac 1.5 or 1.6; Apache Ant; an integrated development environment; and Python 2.2 or later.

If you’re a developer taking Android for a spin ping me. I’d love to hear your early reaction.
