Google said it would not release the source code of its operating system Honeycomb, as it did for other versions of Android. We remember the famous words of Andy Rubin, manager at Google, "the definition of open mkdir android, android cd; repo init-u git: / / android. git. kernel. org / platform / manifest.
git; repo sync; make '. He was responding to attacks from Steve Jobs (see "Apple breaking records and Jobs to loose") explaining that open meant it was possible to download the system source code to compile it, it is of course impossible to do with IOS. Nonetheless, it appears that Google has decided to change his mind.
He says he has no plans to open the source code to the community. The publisher believes its operating system is not yet ready to be touched by developers. Designed specifically for the shelves, only manufacturers marketing products Honeycomb would have access. The same Andy Rubin says Android is an open source project, but decided not to disclose code because he wants Honeycomb protect developers against themselves by preventing them from installing software on a smartphone.
Several analysts commenting on the situation say it is mainly a strategy to maintain secrecy on technologies Google. The market shelves is very lucrative but also very difficult with Apple with a significant lead. Google may still vex developers preferring his platform because of its openness.
