The 2.6.29 kernel release is now out, and if you look closely, there are a number of drivers for the Android platform merged in, starting with this patch.

Yes, there's still a lot to go, like cleaning up the user/kernel interfaces, and prodding the core Android developers to start working upstream more, which they have already started to do. It's a great start, and one that I hope will succeed overall, as it really is a nice system to develop for, and one the phone manufacturers have been asking for from the Linux community, for years.

And besides, how can you not like such a cute robot:
