Default NexusOne/Desire, hw specs, docs, differences info

Hi,

I'm searching for detailed hardware specification of NexusOne and Desire, hardware docs(for peripherals/chips inside those devices). Also, I'd like to know to which extent these two devices have open source drivers implemented or if not, whether someone is working on drivers which are missing. If someone knows more and can provide more info, that'd be greatly appreciated.

pretty much, the hardware in these devices is already supported by Android Source Code, especially processor and wifi.

Graphics, bluetooth, and more are inherently a problem.

I know this from seeing results of building android (w/o sense) from source for the HTC Hero, which these devices are similar to, in terms of hardware and software cooperation (of course these have spec bumps).

ONCE HTC posts the kernel source, deving/compiling stuff for these devices should be 300% easier

How detailed of specs do you want?
HTC Sensation z710a
T-Mobile G1 on AT&T US (retired)
Asus Transformer TF101-A1

QSD8250 should have an integrated graphics core, I was wondering whether open source 2D/3D drivers would be available.

I have read that sources for HTC Desire should be available within 2 months.
Did HTC or Google still not release the kernel sources for Nexus One?
