Is Android Google's Ticket into the Enterprise?

,----[ Quote ]
| Google Inc.'s Android project could be the start of a much larger enterprise 
| strategy, according to one industry analyst. But before the search engine 
| giant can threaten Microsoft's enterprise supremacy, most observers of 
| wireless industry efforts agree that the company's open source OS platform 
| will need to regain support from its development community.

Five Reasons to Be Super Psyched About Android (and Five Not to Be)

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. It's open! The single best thing about Android is that's a modern mobile 
| phone OS that's also almost completely open, unlike some other locked down 
| mobile OSes. (There are a few restrictions in accessing the hardware for 
| security reasons.) It's based on Linux, and once Google has released Android, 
| most of it will be totally open source, so it'll be incredibly easy to dive 
| into its guts and mess around, which will help build a robust developer 
| community, along with all of the other benefits of using open software. Most 
| of its other awesome traits grow out of its openness, actually.

What to Expect from Google Android (And What We're Hoping For)

,----[ Quote ]
| A lot of hopes and open-source dreams are riding on a plucky little phone
| platform called Android, and its public debut on a real-live phone happens
| Tuesday. Those of us at Lifehacker HQ who didn't spring for an iPhone, and
| even some who did, are eager to see how it performs and, more importantly,
| what kind of useful apps will soon appear for the open Android. That's not to
| say we (and many other bloggers) don't have our reservations and lingering
| questions. We've put together a guide to get you up to speed on the Android
| platform and the first phone that runs it, along with what we expect, or just
| hope, to see in Android's very near future.

Top-secret Android handset surfaces on YouTube

,----[ Quote ]
| Defying Google's pathologically closed approach to its open mobile platform,
| someone has posted video of a top-secret Android phone to YouTube.
|
| The video's a bit blurry. And even if it wasn't, it wouldn't tell you much.
| But if you want a glimpse of the current Android SDK, this is the only way to
| get it. For more than five months, in a display of perverse cruelty, Google
| has hidden SDK updates from all but a select few mobile developers.
