See, the rumor mill sez that Google is looking to buy that chunk of spectrum that's still up for offer, and basically deal a staggering kick to the balls of America's mobile carriers (http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/10-reasons-to-h.html) by going into the service business for themselves. At least, that's what we all *hope* is true.]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20071105005673&newsLang=en]]>Nov 5th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/
or just an another platform the manufacturers mentioned could use.
you see, for example, moto has couple of linux based os's already.


what i'm intrested more is if there is a native apps building possibilities in the system or not, like wm or symbian, or if it's just another closed-after-factory mobile os thats just really open to manufacturers - not the people using the devices(like motorolas juix is).]]>Nov 5th 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/

Even though that lovely iPhone is in my pocket, competition is good.

If that video is the best they can do to get people excited about the GPhone, err... Android, then they'll be lucky to sell more phones than the Zune. Seriously, show that video to an average person on the street and then show them an iPhone commercial an I'll bet that 95% of they time they'd choose the iPhone and probably better than 60% of the time they wouldn't even know what the Android video was even about.

The majority of people don't care that the iPhone is locked down, they see it as a cool iPod with a cool phone. Only a very small and very vocal minority even cares that the iPhone doesn't yet have an SDK. The closest you can get to average people even caring that the iPhone is locked down is that they have to switch to AT&T to use it. Other than that, no one gives a shit.

All I can say to Google is that they'd better get their marketing department into gear because enlisting your hardware and software engineers to get people excited isn't going to accomplish anything but make a few geeks wet themselves.]]>Nov 5th 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Of course that means a mobile OS, which is a pure engineering product, should kick some ass.]]>Nov 5th 2007 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/ It's not a phone, it's a platform.]]>Nov 5th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/wait for a gphone!]]>Nov 5th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/breaking-googles-android-announcement-coming-at-noon/Nov 5th 2007 11:57AM
