Anyway, utterly disappointed. The tape covering the logos is proof it is the final product. And it looks like a polished black version of the leaked "prototype-ish" phone. The OS had better be kick-ass to justify the not-so-impressive hardware.]]>Sep 16th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
But wouldn't a hot rod red and jet black mixed look even more better?

I think so.]]>Sep 16th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/

I'd even pay for it. Yes, I'm that serious.]]>Sep 16th 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
"Are you serious? I'm not an apple fanboy, but I think it stands true when I say that Google has shown off the Android much more times without delivering, than Apple did with mobile OS X."

Really? Everything you say after "I'm not an apple fanboy" indicates you in fact are. Lets see... How many times did Apple demo the iPhone as a work in progress to show the fans how it was coming along before it launched? How can Android have failed to deliver more often when it hasn't even been released and therefore hasn't failed to deliver ANYTHING yet?

"The android is a fantastic platform, and it's very powerful, but it went through a lot more hiccups."

Huh? Are you from the future when Android has already launched and has problems? Can I ride in your Delorean? To claim that Android has gone through more hiccups before it has even launched is assinine.

"The only thing that Apple really, badly screwed up on was the MobileMe launch, where they tried to launch a million things at once (figuratively speaking). Other than that, almost all Apple releases go pretty smooth."

Where have you been? Almost everything about the iPhone 3G launch has been a complete fail. There are/were serious, sweeping problems with basically every aspect of the device and the services offered on it.]]>Sep 16th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
Let us face a reality, Apple can not get anything to work properly. All they can do well is raise expectations and then not deliver on it.

Go Google.]]>Sep 16th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
Seriously, grow some pubic hair, before you talk kid. ]]>Sep 16th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
Apple have the same concern. IE broke standards, so people had to write sites that only worked with IE. If that happens again, both the iPhone and Mac OS no longer have decent access to the web. It's the same with flash - if flash becomes so popular that nearly all sites are using it, an inferior version on OSX or iPhone would be a serious blow. Google have a good relationship with Apple, because they're both relying on open standards to market their products, and Apple benefits a lot from Google's services (Maps, search..etc).

This is about standards and openness. Google want a popular mobile platform that they can't be locked out from. Apple (and Google) want standards compliant browsers to have a majority market share to take away the threat of Microsoft locking them out of the web. That's why WebKit is open-source and optimised for all kinds of devices.]]>Sep 16th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/So does that mean since OSX is "powered by" Microsoft Office, Apple and Microsoft aren't competitors? Of Course Android is meant to compete with the iPhone.]]>Sep 16th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
Google isn't trying to dominate or attack the market, they're just trying to shake it up and potentially revolutionize it.]]>Sep 16th 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/Sep 16th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
What are toy talking about. Google has only shown off Android at Developer conferences. It has never had a release date.

You clearly no idea what you are talking about.

When you say that MobileMe is the only screw up, are you ignoring all the bug fixes that they released less than a month after launch ?

Are we forgetting the inability to register the phone at launch ?

Apple screwed it all up.]]>Sep 16th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/google-shows-off-masked-android-handset/
