It’s bound to be exclusive to a particular network, but which one… it’s unlikely Vodafone would promote both Magic and the similar Galaxy, unlikely O2 would promote Galaxy within a month of the iPhone launch, so that leaves T-Mobile or Orange. My money is on T-Mobile for the UK in late July…

Currently on T Mobile here in the UK, no info of a planned release date, have spoke to them but they won’t confirm :(

Come on Google phone!

If you want/need to use Windows, you can. Otherwise, Android offers you the benefits of fast boot & runtime, super long battery life, touch-optimized UI, location-based services, cell phone calls, SMS/MMS, multi-media playback, and access to all the other cool apps in the Android Market.

A similar approach could be used on smartbooks, with Ubuntu instead of Windows (since Windows does not run on ARM). This would be awesome! You would run Android most of the time, but if you need OpenOffice, or any other Ubuntu-supported app (developers could even run Linux dev tools!), you could launch them.

My vote is for this Android dual-boot configuration to be standard on all netbooks…perhaps with Windows/Ubuntu as optional add-ons.
