Google’s Android OS early look SDK now available

November 12, 2007 – 9:46 am

Just like the boys promised, the early look software developer kit for Google’s soon-to-be huge phone OS has hit the streets… er, internet. Pedal your steam-engine over to the Open Handset Alliance site where you can download the SDK for a variety of platforms. Here’s what we know right now: the software is already built to support threaded text messaging, 3G, MPEG-4, h.264, MP3, and AAC file formats, touchscreens, and 3D graphics — and from what we can tell, it’s as comfortable on larger, VGA devices as well as more traditional smartphone layouts. Oh yeah… and it plays Quake. Below you can see an alternate fullscreen version of the phone up and running its browser app. Check the video after the break for a real look at Android in action.
