Assuming Goog's letting Andy's team do their thing, it'll be a good consumer device.</p> Goog’s got guys like Andy Rubin (Danger, WebTV, General Magic, Apple) working on the phone.

Better UI, better features, Apple product appeal. What are the core values at Google that they're going to bring to this market that are so compelling? I don't get it.</p> I understand what Apple is bringing to the mobile phone market: The Apple experience. Better UI, better features, Apple product appeal.
