Google Delays Distribution of New Android Tablet Source Code

There were other android releases where the opensource commit was delayed for similar reasons, in this case its to port parts of Honeycomb back to the phone branch and once that is complete than honeycomb will be committed to kernel.org.

Also note the opensource committers that work at OEMs do in fact have access..something author glossed over..as they commit code under the Apache License

When I read http://crackberry.com/press-release-rim-expands-application-... makes lot of sense now.

I'm guessing that this isn't at all about competition from Apple or RIM. I'm guessing that Google is taking extra time to go over all of the source code to make sure when they release it they aren't inadvertently helping out Oracle's current lawsuit against them regarding Java.
