Nice!

I've only been skimming this thread, but +1 for Android mostly reading as
Linux, but with an extra method in the platform module that gives more
details.

For those interested in mobile app development, Russell Keith-Magee also
announced the release of "toga" [1] here at PyCon AU. That's a Python
specific GUI library that maps directly to native widgets (rather than
using theming as Kivy does). I mention it as one of the things Russell is
specifically looking for is more participation from folks that know the
Android side of things :)

Cheers,
Nick.
