The Android operating system is a great new mobile operating system from Google.

For the applications including source and documentation see www.niftysystems.nl/android.

Update (2 sept 2010):
Thanks to great work by Peter, the Xbox Live Stats Widget now has a lot more functionality and uses the official Xbox Community Developer Program information feed. The widget was already downloaded 16700 times!
