Not
that a "Gphone" or
Android-based mobile phone is available today but the the
Open Handset Alliance around Google's Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz just
uploaded a couple of videos to
YouTube which shows how an Android-based mobile phone could
look in the future.
If you watch the video bellow, you might notice for the first non-touchscreen device a kind of
back and home button, similar to the button-layout we've seen with Windows
Mobile Standard phones. The second phone platform Steve Horowitz showcases is a touchscreen smartphone with 3G capabilities:
Definitively an
interesting video and it shows where Android is going to - most likely. It's not
groundbreaking (yet) and it picked-up some elements we've seen at other mobile phone platforms
like Symbian and Windows Mobile already but I'm definitely looking forward the final
product. However, it still take some time until we will see the first
mobile phones released (at least 9 months). Until then, you can either start to develop your own
Android applications, thanks to the
today's released SDK or you can continue
using your Windows Mobile smartphone (what I will do).
