There has been a lot of talk this past month about the android os. First off if you don't know what this is I will try to briefly explain it to you as best as I can. A lot of mobile smart phones run off of windows mobile or Linux. The android which has been made by Google, is open source just like Linux and is powerd by it also. The androids main competitors will be the I-phone and windows based smart-phones also AT&T since it is sold through Verizon and also T-mobile. It's os for mobile phones has received good reviews and was just recently released as the official os for the G1 by Google. The problem is that Google wanted to take it further so they decided to partner with Acer and created an android Os for pcs. Now the main problem is that the android should have just stayed and competed for their place for mobile phones. But making it into a full Os is doomed for horrific results.
1). The android was originally designed for mobile phones as said above.
2). There are limited features for it and most of the features resolve around having an android based mobile phone.
3). Google and phones just don't mix.
Now there are some good qualities with this os.
1). First off it is open source meaning you can custom it.
2). You can also make apps and contribute to the open source community.
3.) It runs pretty fast and it boots up in 18 seconds and it only takes one second to power it off.
I like the android for a os for mobile phones but taking it and molding it into something it isn't could have tremendous repercussions for Google. I predict that it won't sell good even though it is being sold with the Acer and will still have windows xp. The androids blog is here http://www.android.com/ . Comment post whatever :P
