Andy Rubin, who is the lead developer on the project for Google, said on a conference call today that a software development kit for Android will be available will available within a week. (Nice profile of Rubin in Sunday’s New York Times by John Markoff, by the way.) Notably not in the initial list of participants: Nokia (NOK) and Research in Motion (RIMM).
