Google's Android Debuts In Barcelona

[HardOCP News]

Androids! Barcelona is being overrun by prototype Android handsets! Run for your life!

Google launched Android last year, hoping to establish its software as the standard operating system for mobile phones and to improve the quality of web-browsing for handset users. "It's definitely very promising," an analyst for technology research firm Gartner, Carolina Milanesi, told AFP. "This means that we should be on track to see commercial devices in the second half of 2008."

I love the advancement of technology and all but all these sci-fi announcements mean squat if it is not readily available for use.

Doesn't look like anything special yet, hopefully software updates will make it more appealing.

That said, one more reason I wish I lived in Barcelona.

Google's Android is showing lots of promise. I'm hoping that manufacturers who do adopt it don't lock 3rd party app creation down.

It's too bad it lacks some of the features that make Windows Mobile atractive. It's starting to look good but it just isn't quite there.
