It doesn't bring anything new to the table as far as I can tell.]]>Feb 13th 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
Totally customized user interface if they want.

A cast of hundreds of thousands of developers falling over themselves to develop for it.

No I definitely do not. Just please explain to me how this OS will be provided to handset manufactures for free? This is Google and they will be making their money SOMEWHERE. Where would that be?]]>Feb 13th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
I swear I came across an add in Google Maps last week. I did a search for Chicago, IL because I wanted to see the traffic congestion for my commute home and something poped up for the Chicago Tattooing and Piercing Company. Maybe it was just a glitch.]]>Feb 13th 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/

what does it bring to the table?

Are they gonna use the 700mhz spectrum and give me free phone or internet service?

otherwise i'm opting for the cheaper phone with whatever service gives best reception.]]>Feb 13th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
Only time will tell who wins this fight, but I believe that Android will turn out to be the only real contender in the Linux phone space...battling the iPhone for consumers. RIM and WinMob are, IMHO, never going to win over consumers...and consumers (vs. business users) are the most rapidly expending segment of the smart phone market. ]]>Feb 13th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
we all wants gps, email, lasers, rims, and wings on our cell phones.

that way our devices become less like cell phones, and more like... little personal robotic assisstants of doom... that call people.]]>Feb 13th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
If I can't feel cool for being geeky, then I'd rather just feel cool. Handset in the pic sucks.

Oh yeah, and Sun want's back on top.]]>Feb 13th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
Well, there's actually companies working on improving the user interface - like Apple for example. And they need another year to release an OS that's already dated.

Wow ... I'm mean, open source is great and all ... but, what the?

I'm so underexcited.]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/
Wireless transfers of pictures and files, phone to phone or phone to PC. (Are you tired of paying Verizon a monthly fee to transfer stuff off your phone?)

Being able to send your exact location (if you choose) to any friend also running Android regardless of their phone carrier, launching Google Maps on their phone and giving them turn-by-turn directions.

Seamless integration with all Google apps (GMail, Maps, Docs).

WLAN calls with Skype.

Open source, thousands of developers, industry backing by the biggest names.

FREE.

That's just a short list. It's really open to imagination.

There's a major paradigm shift coming in the next 12-18 months that will hit the cell phone industry like a tidal wave. Android is part of that. Verizon, AT&T, and others will have to redefine their revenue stream because all the phony garbage they now charge for will exist in open-OS phones for FREE.]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/lg-aims-for-android-handsets-by-2009/Feb 13th 2008 5:37PM
