Android Jumpstart |
The features that make Android a great cell phone operating system can also make it a great OS for your next embedded application. This presentation covers important topics like what types of applications can benefit most from Android, how to adapt it for use in non-cell-phone hardware, basic programming techniques, how to implement device drivers and native applications under Android, and numerous programming examples and demonstrations.

Android Variants, Hacks, Tricks and Resources |
While Google makes periodic code drops to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), the bulk of the work done on Android occurs behind closed-doors. There are, therefore, only a limited numbers of parties who can meaningfully influence Android's future at any point in time. This, though, hasn't stopped 3rd parties and enthusiastic developers from customizing and extending Android in a variety of different way. This talk provides an overview of 3rd party projects, resources, tools, etc. that embedded developers may want to look at if they intend to build Android-based embedded systems. Amongst other things, this talk will go over the Cyanogenmod project, one of the more prominent Android derivatives.

Android's Open Accessory Development Kit |
Google announced a new initiative that's focused on extending Android beyond the phone. The Android Open Accessory Kit is an Arduino-based platform (and now MicroChip-based) for connecting your Android device to things in the physical world. But, how does it work? What can you interface to? And, how does this play into the Android at Home platform? Come to this presentation and find out.
