Google Steps Into The Brave Mobile World
No, there is no Gphone, at least not in the sense of a palpable piece of hardware.
Instead, Google has decided to join with the mobile operators and manufacturers like HTC, T-Mobile, Qualcomm, Motorola, and over 25 others in an Open Handset Alliance. This alliance has one goal: it will release a platform, called Android, that will consist of a mobile operating system, a user interface, applications, and an SDK (which should be available in a week’s time).
You don’t know how good this sounds to me, who has just finished a two-hour voyage into the murky bog of Symbian UIQ3 software. Having recently acquired a Sony Ericsson P1i, I was excited to finally be able to get some of those cool smartphone applications and use them for an extended period of time, not just for testing. However, the many flavors of Symbian - S60, S80, UIQ2, UIQ3, and others - are confusing as hell, and finding software that actually works on your phone is a pain.
With Google and many mobile heavyweights supporting Android, in due time it should become a platform with a multitude of free, quality applications and good, rock solid support, and that’s definitely something that’s missing from the world of mobiles today.
So, when can we expect to actually see phones sporting Android? Google says somewhere in the second half of 2008. I can wait.

Ha!
You would think that they world have OK’d it at the beginning instead of allowing it to go so long without saying a thing and then bringing it back up when it was too late. I don’t understand it at all. Virility Patch RX

Awesome info! I was honestly just thinking about something similar to this the other day so, it was almost “weird” when I ran across this. You would be surprised how many people simply have no idea when it comes to this kind of stuff. Anyway, thanks for getting this info out there and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates you taking the time to post this for the masses.

Some time back, my 3-year old computer was running so slow that I had to buy a new computer. Or at least I thought I needed a new computer. Then within a matter of weeks of surfing on the Internet, my new computer was also running so slowly. In addition, some programs did not run well on my computer, and I did not recognize some of the programs that were running on my computer. That scared me most. Were these programs that were tracking my keystrokes on my computer or programs I just not remember installing? I knew I had to find a answer and solution fast. The truth is, we can all put up with a slow computer, but very few of us would want others to have access to the information on our computers, but that is exactly what can happen when spyware or malware is loaded on our computers without our knowledge.
