| Samsung will launch its first phones based on Google's Android platform this
| coming spring within the US, according to statements reportedly made by the
| Korean company. An official has told local press that Samsung
| is "accelerating" development of phones based on Android and should have a
| finished product released within the US during the second calendar quarter of
| the year, which runs April through June. The goal is to "meet the specific
| need of local carriers," the electronics maker adds.

"cupcake" development branch

,----[ Quote ]
| From http://www.yqcomputer.com/ :
| During Android's transition to an open-source project, some development has
| continued to happen in a private branch. We are working to move the rest of
| these changes into the open as soon as possible, and all future open-source
| work will happen in the public git repositories. All changes that have
| already been submitted to the public repositories will be merged into the
| newer code base, so nothing should be lost.
|
| The Android team has begun pushing these changes to the public git
| repositories, in the "cupcake" branch.
