After all the excitement about the Android platform, a community for Android developers has been set up called http://www.androiddeveloper.com which is a central hub where developers can discuss and learn about the Android platform.

A different site called http://www.androidmobileforum.com has also been set up for everyone to discuss anything about Android mobile.

It looks like theres going to be a lot of talk before we even get the first Android mobile devices in late 2008.

Google should just stick to web-search technology. I'm pissed about the fact that, they're distracting HTC from contributing to the WiMo platform. And i cant believe HTC is so retarded to jump and join hands with Google on their new "DREAM" (well, this is another topic of debate. For startes, a damn cheesy name....sounds like it came out of one of his overly long crapping sessions in a public restrooms).

Look at HTC, they still havent rolled a successor for the Universal, instead they're @#$^ing dreaming i guess!

Sad monkeys, loose focus....a pity. I guess Peter Chou is more after cashing in more bucks, purely business/commercial driven and usually greed leads to lack in business focus, dilution in quality, drop in loyalty of customers, and thereby their downfall.

For me all of the authors seem to miss the point. Win mobile sucks, apple is closed, and so far, only one form factor, and as a 'gizmo' it is short of the current mark [by gps, radio speed, camera, applications that do things. Nokia has alot covered, but seems to be leaving lots of gaps in their gears use profile. I just got my first phone that is more than just a phone. I have integrated it as a tool into all of my day, and frankly as a phone it sucks, win mobile is a pig of non usability. But because of some reverse engineered generosity I have been able to install HTC's interface additions to winmobile and I have a usable device because of that. [that is why HTC wants to work with google] Google has a web-based suite of web applications that work, they are lean and in many instances they deliver a good user experience. Google Maps mobile is in many ways more functional for me, more often, than Tomtom gps software, and it's free. Add into that the community creating apps for everything one can think of. And at the heart of this an os that might have things like cut/copy/paste, and other things mysteriously lame or missing from winmobile.... As a person who has use for these things now that they can do so much for my life, I look forward to a very complete device to be more possible. I have a 2 year contract to att for my new Tilt... so I can wait, but how great would it be if you could just update your current gear to a more flexible/capable software setup? For that I will toss in my good will and good wishes to the android project.

Also, I bet they have a sweet handset in operation somewhere...

Things I use my phone for. GPS, Navigation, exploration, sport driving in far away remote places, making images with the camera, from snaps to art pieces, writing text, editing the employee schedule, painting/drawing a nearly photoshop level piece of software], email, internet use [opera mini], music, video, file transport, calendar, weather, alarm clock, stopwatch/timer, audio recorder, skype, instant messaging, work notes, calculator, internet radio and ah, er, a phone. So for me, that is the bar to raise.

cheers.
