No one is really sure yet, what it all means, but Google announced today that it has joined forces with dozens of other companies to work on a new smartphone platform called Android (gPhone would sound stupid and cutesy).
Android is not technically a phone, it is a mobile linux platform for which phones and software can be developed.
No phones have been announced.
Expect the first phones out by the middle of next year, if Google can do what Microsoft and Apple can’t and actually release a product on time.
After scanning the web for details on the android, this is probably the best article we came across to make sense of it all.
