Google and T-Mobile just announced the arrival of the G1 device today. This is the first cell phone to use Google’s new open “Android” operating system. Android will almost certainly change the mobile computing fabric. It is the first open and free mobile platform and since it is backed by Google it is not going to be a flash-in-the-pan. But, now the question is, how disruptive will it be? There are over 3.3 Billion active cell phone subscribers in the globe. How many of those will eventually be on Android?
I’d appreciate any of your thoughts on that. For now, check out some of Android’s features below. Looks pretty cool.
We still don’t know when these will be in the local phone stores. But then again, we don’t know when the Blackberry Bold will be here either. Anyway, I plan on evaluating an Android phone as soon as possible to see if it is for me.
More later.
