It has been revealed that the number of downloads of the Android Software Development Kit have reached 750,000 since it was released to developers in November of 2007.

Android is Google's, and the Open Handset Alliance's, open source mobile phone operating system that was announced late last year with the promise to "revolutionise" the mobile phone industry.

Google has recently released an updated version of the SDK, so numbers are expected to pass the one million mark fast.

The number of developers working on the system is described as "astonishing". Hardware based on the Android platform is due out in the second half of 2008 with companies like LG, Samsung and HTC confirmed to be working on solutions.
