“Google has just released source code for the latest version of
Android, that is Ice Cream Sandwich. According to this Google
Groups post by Jean-Baptiste Queru a.k.a JBQ, the code for Android
4.0 is currently being pushed to the servers and will take some
time to complete. The release, which also includes the source code
for Honeycomb, will enable manufacturers to start prepping their
own devices for the big upgrade.

“Android fans all around will be pleasantly surprised to see ICS
being open sourced earlier than they anticipated. Originally,
everyone expected the source code to be available on the day Galaxy
Nexus hits the markets. Galaxy Nexus however, is still days away
from release.”
