In an interview with BusinessWeek by Andy Rubin, VP Engineer at Google, says that it is still too early to release the source code for Android 3.0 licensed open source and to ensure, therefore, customization and / or use outside those expected. The project was specifically designed to run well on systems and tablet may work slightly underperforming on a smartphone: "We Did not Want to Think About What It Would Take the Same for software to run on phones," said Rubin.
"It Would Have required a lot of additional resources and schedule Our extended beyond what we thought Was reasonable. So We Took a shortcut." The spokesman was keen to point out that Google has changed its strategy and still believe in open source model, but the criticisms have not subsided.
What is disputed is the company's Mountain View the source code of the release of Android is released to the community until several months after being used on commercial devices and only for certain versions. This approach encourages partners of Google hardware such as LG, Motorola, Samsung and giving them a definite advantage on development time and punishes the other hand, smaller companies that depend on the availability of source code to start their own.
Android 3.0 is the operating system is key to determining the presence of Google in the market for tablet and for this giant of the search engines want to preserve the most basic experience prior to granting the ability to customize the system, which instead will by next summer with the new line of Samsung devices Galaxy Tab.
The unification of the Android platform for smartphones and Tablet PCs, finally, will only come with the next release of the operating system indicated by the code name of Ice Cream.
