This competes more with windows mobile than with the iPhone. Personally, I'm looking forward to increased competition in the mobile space, and will definitely be watching these devices closely.

I'm looking forward to the phone companies spending billions (the same amount of money they spent on the infrastructure for these stupid iPhones) on running conduit to homes and buildings for terabyte broad band speed. Remember the broad band revolution?.. You know 1.5 mgs per sec. is not going to be so "blazing fast" twenty years from now.

The Google Phone has arrived, sort of, but not in the long-rumored embodiment 
that many had expected. Google announced this morning that it has developed 
a new mobile OS called "<A href="http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/android_overview.html">Android</A>"—a 
result of its acquisition of a mobile software company of the same name in 
2005—that will allow the company to get Google's mobile apps into as many 
hands as possible starting in mid-2008. Android is Linux-based and open source, 
and aspects of the platform will be made available to handset manufacturers for free under the Apache license.

    apps, but for its <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070717-google-hopes-to-ring-up-mobile-phone-content-sales.html">mobile 
    advertising platform</A>. However, Google said during its press conference 
    this morning that we "won't see a completely ad-driven cell phone for 
    some time." Android and Google's mobile ad platform is still young though, 
    and the two will likely evolve together over time.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071105-its-official-google-announces-open-source-mobile-phone-os-android.html">today's announcement
