| much praise and critical acclaim â with 
| pundits suggesting it might be Androidâs 
| best outing yet. Now, on the same day of the 
| Droidâs UK launch (as the Milestone) itâs 
| been crowned best gadget of 2009 in TIME

The Game-Changing Android OS

,----[ Quote ]
| The Android OS (operating system) used on 
| the new Droid phones offered by Verizon and 
| powered by Google is the first significant 
| threat to the domination of the computing 
| world by the Windows operating system. 
| Although this potential is still in the 
| distant future, it should not be ignored.

Canada prepares for Android invasion

,----[ Quote ]
| The biggest difference - and perhaps 
| Android's strongest point - is that Google's 
| operating system is open source. That means 
| anybody - from the weekend hacker to the 
| biggest cell phone makers in the world - can 
| tweak it as they see fit. As such, the 
| Android phones didn't look like clones - for 
| better of for worse, the individual smart 
| phone makers managed to make them their own.
