The new Google Android phone represents a paradigm shift in the cell phone industry. While this was true for the iPhone as well, the Google Android project is open in nature. Any cell phone manufacturer can adopt the Android standard. As a group, manufacturers will make the platform better.
T-Mobile is the first company to release an Android phone. Arguably, it is certainly a Gen 1 device but the potential is astonishing. After being a holdout, Nokia announced yesterday that they will be producing an Android phone as well.
The thing that make the Android so powerful is not really the device itself but direct access to all of Google's functionality in a mobile device.
Watch for this to take off!
