Android?

I was too busy with work to notice the big Google Android announcement. A phone platform based on Linux and open source standards. Sounds like a good idea to me. It will be interesting to see what the SDK looks like next week.

In my opinion, the success or failure of this will depend on the openness. Will you be able to create GPS apps for it? Run Skype? Run GAIM? My iPhone is really fun, but it is too cell centric when it needs to be Internet centric. Competition is a good thing.
