HTC has recently announced that they have released the source code for the Droid Eris. This news comes as a mixed blessing though — for some its great news and for some it will go unnoticed.
Those that will be happy are developers and those who like to customize their Android handsets with custom ROM’s.
That said though, while this move will not affect many people (myself included) it is nice to see HTC being so good about releasing the source code. After all, the hackers and modders may be the minority but I would also say they are a loyal and dedicated minority.
Anyway, if interested in checking out the source, head on over the the HTC Developers page (link below).

TNo for nothing but its good news regardless of wether it effects you or not ….the more open the platform becomes the more developers are deciding to tinker with it ….it potentially means more apps and a better platform all around …..htc is really steping up to the plate with this
does this mean we could potentially load it onto the droid without rooting it? i think htc's camera is faster then the droid's and it seemed to take better pictures. mine still come out blurry..
This is really a good one. I think this can be really useful for all geek minds. We'll see many modified version of this soon.
