Google set to unleash the “Android”
The mobile world is about to get a little crazier. Reliable rumors are pointing to Monday as the day that Google will unveil their new mobile phone platform. Codenamed "Android", the software suite is expected to contain a "complete mobile phone software stack," incorporating new elements on top of a linux-based OS platform. It’s unclear if an actual handset will be on display, but sources close to the project have revealed that Japan’s KDDI and NTT DoCoMo will be linked somehow to the Monday annoucement. Those two carriers are expected to join over 30 other partners in what will be known as the Open Handset Alliance, a collection of companies that have signed on to Google’s mobile handset project. We’ll keep you updated as the details come in, but until then…the countdown has begun!
Good to see this. More options = more competition ± better overall mobile expierence.
Cingular better be one of the 30…
BG?
Cingular/ATT has the iPhone. I don’t see them directly trying to compete, and I’m not even sure if they can because of apples agreement with ATT.
I hope Google incorporates there grandcentral.com users into Android.
Does anyone else think Win Mobile is doomed.
Att put out the Tilt so what makes you think they won’t get the Goophone?
Besides if att marketed every phone like they did with the iPhone then they would be the only carrier left in the U.S.
Your product is only as good as you make it seem in the eyes of the consumer.
Only one question and it’s completely off topic… Where did you get the great google/dilbert mug?
i want to know about the mug too…
The question I haven’t heard anyone ask is…If it’s linux-based is it going to be open source ? I want to hear the answer to that question.
Then we can discuss the implications of the answer
its monday spill the beans
I want to know where I can get that Google Dilbert coffee cup.
