Early views of Android phones bubble up

| Also unsurprising: the phones run Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and of course
| Google search, which is where Google hopes to make its money off the Android
| project.

Tomorrow is G-Day
,----[ Quote ]
| The world - OK, just a group of phone geeks - is waiting for the launch of
| the Android phone aka the T-Mobile Dream tomorrow with bated breath. CG will
| be at the event in force with a liveblog and images but before we walk to the
| well of hype and drink deep and hearty droughts of orgasmic praise, let’s
| talk about what Android is and isn’t.

Seems more powerful than iPhone with that folding keyboard.
Now It's Getting Interesting: Google (GOOG) Gphone Features Amazon Music Store
(AMZN)
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon has made some decent headway since launching its MP3 store last year.
| We've yet to see official numbers, but music industry execs guesstimate that
| it has clawed out something like 5 to 8% of the digital download market. Just
| as important, it gives the big music labels someone else to deal with other
| than Apple (AAPL), and hooking up with the Gphone makes it even more
| attractive.

Google's Android: It's not just for phones

| Bruggeman declined to share specifics about which Internet-connected devices
| might employ the operating system, but he did mention TVs and set-top boxes
| as well as cars. And he was confident some will arrive next year.
|
| "I don't want to pre-announce any design wins," he said. "I think you'll see
| them in 2009. I would be shocked if you didn't."

GACL
,----[ Quote ]
| Until Chrome came along, Google's Master Mobile Plan didn't quite add up. Now
| it does. Chrome -- Google's new superbrowser -- is cream on the top of a new
| mobile software stack. Let's call it GACL, for Gears, Android and Chrome on
| Linux. Gears is a way to run Web apps on desktops and store data locally as
| well as in the cloud. Android is a development framework for Linux-based
| mobile devices. Chrome is a browser, but not just for pages. Chrome also runs
| apps. In that respect, it's more than the UI-inside-a-window that all
| browsers have become. It's essentially an operating system.

Is Android Google's Ticket into the Enterprise?
,----[ Quote ]
| Google Inc.'s Android project could be the start of a much larger enterprise
| strategy, according to one industry analyst. But before the search engine
| giant can threaten Microsoft's enterprise supremacy, most observers of
| wireless industry efforts agree that the company's open source OS platform
| will need to regain support from its development community.

Five Reasons to Be Super Psyched About Android (and Five Not to Be)
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. It's open! The single best thing about Android is that's a modern mobile
| phone OS that's also almost completely open, unlike some other locked down
| mobile OSes. (There are a few restrictions in accessing the hardware for
| security reasons.) It's based on Linux, and once Google has released Android,
| most of it will be totally open source, so it'll be incredibly easy to dive
| into its guts and mess around, which will help build a robust developer
| community, along with all of the other benefits of using open software. Most
| of its other awesome traits grow out of its openness, actually.

What to Expect from Google Android (And What We're Hoping For)
,----[ Quote ]
| A lot of hopes and open-source dreams are riding on a plucky little phone
| platform called Android, and its public debut on a real-live phone happens
| Tuesday. Those of us at Lifehacker HQ who didn't spring for an iPhone, and
| even some who did, are eager to see how it performs and, more importantly,
| what kind of useful apps will soon appear for the open Android. That's not to
| say we (and many other bloggers) don't have our reservations and lingering
| questions. We've put together a guide to get you up to speed on the Android
| platform and the first phone that runs it, along with what we expect, or just
| hope, to see in Android's very near future.

Top-secret Android handset surfaces on YouTube
,----[ Quote ]
| Defying Google's pathologically closed approach to its open mobile platform,
| someone has posted video of a top-secret Android phone to YouTube.
|
| The video's a bit blurry. And even if it wasn't, it wouldn't tell you much.
| But if you want a glimpse of the current Android SDK, this is the only way to
| get it. For more than five months, in a display of perverse cruelty, Google
| has hidden SDK updates from all but a select few mobile developers.
