It's a introduction slide for the Google Android platform I wrote several days ago. If anyone is interested, just take a look. :)

Android Developer Phone 2 now is out
The famous Google Ion phone now is available to Android developers as Android Developer Phone 2:
However, the Google Ion logo is gone. Now you can see the purchase option for Android Developer Phones here:
To purchase the phone you must be a registered Android developer on the Android Market website, so you would need USD 25 + USD 399 + shipping fee to get the phone.
It's a 32B phone, which is the European / United States version of HTC Magic, not a 32A phone as the Asian version. That means it has less ROM as 192 MB, not 288 MB.
On the purchase page it states that you can rebuild the Android system and flash to the device, but it seems the boot loader of the device is still a locked version? Why I said this? See the Google Ion page on the HTC website, it said the device is coming with "hboot 1.33.3004 (locked)". Or maybe the hboot on ADP2 is unlocked already? If you know the answer, please let me know. :)

How to build Android source code for your ADP1 / T-Mobile G1 / HTC Magic
Some of you might already know how to build Android source code for Android DevPhone rev.1 / T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) / HTC Magic (aka HTC Sapphire). If you don't know how to build, try the instructions in this page.
However, since HTC Magic has 2 versions (PVT32A / PVT32B), the rom images built from the Android source code might only work on PVT32B version because the bootloader / radio images are different. You better watch out for the differences.
After you build the rom images for your device, you can use the fastboot tool in the folder to flash your device if you have already flashed engineering bootloader into your device.
