The phone has not yet being in the market, but echo has widely spread, including into classroom. The famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will likely to offer a class about Google’s Android-based software development.

The class is the first phone based development course to be offered by the school, and it is being offered as part of the school’s computer science program. The course will start work with the Google supplied Android Standard Development Kit (SDK).

Twenty students have been invited to join the class, which starts on February 8th. The class is lead by Professor Hal Abelson and will feature Rich Miner from Google, Dave Mitchell and Eric Carlson from ConnectedBit, and Rajeev Surati and Andrew Yu from MIT as additional instructors.

Definitely it is a good campaign of sounding Android’s Linux based platform to academic world. As the Google founder comes from academic atmosphere too, hopefully we would hear several good news about breakthrough application from students near soon.
