Yes and no. There is a phone coming out (supposedly) at the end of this year, that will run Android. Google has also stated that it will opensource the entire platform when a device is released. But so far we don't know if either of those two statements will be delivered upon. Luckily Google has started showing a fair consistency in their releases so we can assume it's true. I hope your research goes well, this is the exact same thing I'm trying to do. ;)
