As Sony Mobile, time as well as again, has shown their consistent support for us underground-developers community, numerous were skeptical as to exactly how long it will keep as much as it. While OEMs around the world go about breaking all GPLv2 and apache licences, extremely much like crime-lords on the loose, Sony has been doing the opposite by providing it’s all to the world broad designers community.

However, who ever believed that the prayers will be responded to so soon ? In a extremely recent screen of awesomeness, Sony Mobile has released their full kernel source code of their show-stopper, the Xperia Z ! This has led numerous a designers to salivate their eyes as well as cry with joy, as they see the messiah among OEMs do what they have long desired. And, all this before the phone has even gone on sale world broad ! what a wonderful treat !
Sony has already shown us their commitment before, the most recent example being the kernel source release for their alpha Jellybean develop for Xperia T, sure Sony isnt the only one to be doing this type of stuff, however others who have done so, have done a awful work at it, by not releasing a full build-able kernel source. lessons learnt HTC as well as Samsung ? you like us, we like you back ten-fold.
