The Android's dream

No its not about any Japanese Android! Its about the "Android", the Google's new operating system for the mobile phone's. Well, it seems like, its not just an another mobile OS like Symbian or Windows. First, it is developed by Google, which has the reputation of bringing innovative and exciting products and secondly its open source which says it all.

HTC would be taking out the android OS into their new phone, christened, "HTC Dream". Today They have gotten the approval from FCC but hopefully it will not be the only one, more will follow. Little digging into it revealed its superiority to other OS :

a) It promises to be an open platform just like Linux. Remember that Iphone is still not an open source and I guess won't be in the future.

b) Android won't be limited to one manufacturer or (hopefully) just one carrier.

c) Android will operate on multiple devices that will offer varying designs and features.

d) Android (HTC Dream) will have application like multimedia messaging, voice dialing, and video recording, all of which are lacking on the iPhone.

e) Support from Google

I heard that Android will also support 3G and Edge networks along with usual wireless connection like wifi and bluetooth.

I have been waiting for a product like this because, in the past, whenever comes a software bug in the phone, we were left at the mercy of the phone manufacturer or microsoft (for Window Mobile Phones). I am still not able to figure out why skype doesn't work on my HTC touch! Now all this will change with Android. I could just dive deep inside the source code and figure out the problem myself.
