Announcing Google Phone Android Phone

The new Google-developed Android open-source operating system for mobile phones is announced here.

Applications for the Android OS appear impressive. But since the OS is open-sourced, developers will have a field day coming up with better apps. In fact, Google is offering a $10 million award to the best innovation for Android OS. That should get developers moving!

The phones based upon Android should be available the second half of 2008. That gives Apple iPhone a one year warning. Check out more Android OS apps at YouTube
