April 8, 2008 - Android is the newest mobile brainchild of Google. It has been six months since they make their initial announcements to enter the mobile industry but we have heard very little from them since. The new Linux-based service that Google plans to offer users was also pretty reserved in what details they chose to release at CTIA Wireless conference last week, leaving interested parties frustrated and without much information. It is especially strange that we have heard so little from Google about their Android service since the first supporting phones are supposed to make the stage in a few months. Google has expressed, however, that the reason they are releasing so little information is that they want everything to be perfect before they move forward and release inaccurate information.

The two main goals of Android are to offer a mobile platform that is an excellent service for customers and second, to be open and open source. Of course, these goals may or may not actually work hand in hand the way Google is hoping they will. The applications that will be available to Android users are also unclear. Interested parties are also wondering how Android will handle different keypad styles such as classic numeric vs. QWERTY keyboards. The goal here is to create a aesthetically pleasing system that is functional as well, and Android is not the first to attempt this and will surely not be the last either. Fragmentation is a big concern for Google and they are working very hard to avoid mistakes that others have made in the past and will release more information as soon as everything is squared away.
