It has taken at least six months longer than expected but this Google Android thing is for real.
It’s More than just the G1 on T-Mobile. We are finally seeing devices hit all the major carriers in the states and many world wide.
If you follow the Smart Phone market at all, you know of the G1, and you may have heard of Sprints Hero, and of course Motorola Droid is getting a lot of prime time advertising right now. But there is way more than that.
There are at least 20 phones either out now or about to be released world wide. Click the link int he title above to check out a Tech Crunch article with specs on each one.

My interest is peaked, as finally Verizon is getting a decent Non Blackberry Non Windows Mobile Smart Phone.
Palm you had a chance with the Pre, the Android roll out was slower than expected but instead of moving fast to fill a gap and maybe gain more than just a foothold in the Smart Phone market, you have been slow to add apps, and even slower to put your device on other carriers, in the US and World Wide. I think you are about to be buried in a slew of great open devices with a strong developer base, available on every carrier.
