I don't think "in on this party just yet" is quite the right phrase, for them at least. Perhaps "trying to halfheartedly imitate and then outright crush" would be more apt.]]>Nov 5th 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
Really, very shocking. ]]>Nov 5th 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
Similarly, Verizon/Vodefone has spent a **** load of money on their own platform, why piss all that away for the Android?

See what I did there?]]>Nov 5th 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
I think I'm going to --!]]>Nov 5th 2007 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
Sell it to me. I'm still using a phone that's +3 years old.]]>Nov 5th 2007 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
The Verizon camp is SOL, since its much harder to port handsets to their network]]>Nov 5th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
I'm very happy with my iPhone, but excited to see a true competitor in this space. The mobile handset market has been, quite frankly, pathetic. Windows Mobile is next to unusable. If anyone can create a truly competitive and innovative mobile OS, it's Google. Competition means we all win, whether it's the iPhone, Google's mobile OS, or some new entry to the market.

Can't wait to get my hands on it!]]>Nov 5th 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/they're third or fourth now.]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Nov 5th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/
Symbian has been a very open platform, in fact in the previous version developers could get to anywhere int the file system, any server or app, whatever. It is a powerful and flexible system. Recently they have had to introduce stringent security measures because hackers were taking an interest and people started to get viruses hopping between devices via IP and bluetooth.

Android is going to face all the same issues so for the next couple of years we can watch it be disfunctional, inflexible and insecure until it catches up to the level that Symbian is now - not sure what the point of all that would be.

If Google wants better browsing on mobiles why doesn't it just develop a better browser for current mobile OSs? That would be much simpler, quicker and more useful.]]>Nov 5th 2007 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/more-details-from-googles-android-press-release/Dec 17th 2007 11:37AM
