The fact that this project is "focused on reducing the impact of short life cycles for commercial mobile devices" excites me as I'm sure many folks dislike how quickly technology grows obsolete and stale when you just bought a new phone and a new one comes out a few weeks later. That being said, security of mobile devices is an increasingly important issue as we become more and more reliant on information connectivity for our daily lives.
I would be curious to hear the results of Phase I and of course look at the framework they use to extend the Android OS.
Why not try to commit the Security extensions into the Android project?
I'm really excited for more Data driven support. With this, now we can get rid of those annoying canned responses to each user asking for the basics of the issue they're having.
