Google Android

Google Android is a new platform designed to work especially with mobile devices. Android will understand the regular HTML and all standard HTML markups and render any webpage as we see them on our desktops. Android is going to unify how HTML is delivered and viewed by all of us, whether it’s on a mobile device with 320×240 resolution, a personal computer with 1280X800 or who knows a holographic retina projector with eye movement tracking technology.

Google hopes Android will become the dominant operating system for many mobile phones. Google’s Android will not be requiring special Web codings to be displayed correctly. To support you in your efforts, Google has launched the Android Developer Challenge, which will provide $10 million in awards — no strings attached — for great mobile apps built on the Android platform. The beautiful sleek smartphone HTC OMNI introduced last July, apparently will be used as the Google’s Android demo phone.

The impressive feature about this Android is the integration of touch and manipulate navigation movement much like the iPhone. Developers building applications on Android, Google’s mobile phone software that is still in the making, have been venting their frustration at what they say is a slow pace of updates released for the SDK and a general lack of information about the development schedule for the software.
The phone will be made by HTC, one of the largest makers of mobile phones in the world, and is expected to go on sale in the United States before Christmas, perhaps as early as October.
