Well if you want to know the process, learn how to write drivers for the Linux kernel

Essentially the devs need to work out the drivers for Linux first, then Android can communicate with the devices. If drivers were already available for the devices, it wouldn't be a big deal... but we don't have the drivers for the camera & GPS, so they have to build them from scratch. Just like HW3D, just like the touchscreen, just like the radio... just like everything else pretty much.
