Kyocera and Android team up

Kyocera wireless announced today that they have begun work on a new product platform that incorporates Google’s Android. The announcement states a collaboration with Wind River Systems, a key leader in Device Software Optimization.

Wind River Systems, an embedded computing specialist that’s increased its staff to help manufacturers support Android, said Tuesday it’s providing engineering services to help incorporate the software from the 34-member Open Handset Alliance that has collectively built Android so far.

It wouldn’t be too far-fetched to expect the first CDMA Android phone (Verizon or Sprint) to be built by Kyocera based on a quote by Kyocera’s Dave Carey, vice president and general manager of the Consumer Products Group, “We are committed to developing compelling consumer devices that leverage our robust technology portfolio. Our goal is to make Kyocera the leader in Android integration among CDMA device manufacturers in the markets we serve.”
