Today Google made available the Android SDK, which makes it possible for developers to build applications for the Android open handset platform.  There is a new section for Android on code.google.com, and a video showing off the capabilities of the platform.

I haven’t yet installed the SDK, but it looks promising.  Google also announced a $10M prize purse for developers building Android apps, although I’m not sure the fires really need all that stoking — the media buzz around this platform has captured enough interest that I’m sure we’d see some amazing handset apps even without the prizes.

If you haven’t read my previous post, be sure to check out the Android demo at the upcoming MoMo Boston event.
