Google Unveils First Android Phone
danieltdp writes "Google finally officially launched the first Android-enabled mobile device to hit the market. As expected, the first Android phone will be the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1), a device with a large touchscreen and a slide-out physical keypad that will run Google's new mobile platform." You might also not be at all surprised to know that Google is working on an Android competitor to the Apple App store.

That's right, I'm not suprised. It was on the front page of Slashdot awhile back.

Could this possibly lead to my dream mobile phone? Could it? With the Android platform being open-source, I think it is just possible.
Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
dude, your dreamphone already exists: http://www.jitterbug.com/Phones.aspx Now you just have to download a "Git off my lawn!!" ringtone

Dude, Android has nothing to do with your dream phone. The Nokia 5190 was pretty much doing what you wanted it to 10 years ago. Pick one up off of eBay for less than $30 and be happy, unless you're worried that the extra features like SMS and Snake will interfere with your experience. Tell all your Slashdot friends who also just want a phone, too.
Tweet, tweet.
Android Pros:
* No emo retards/Mac loonies queuing up hours for it and spamming the Net with photographs of their pathetic asses
* No inane 'unboxing vids'
* You don't have to deal with the morons who try to work their iPhone into every single conversation they have with you
* You don't have to watch the dumbfucks who sit in public places awkwardly and desperately using their iPhone hoping other people will see them and think they are 'special'
Like Tony Blair!
The CB App. What's your 20?

Haven't pretty much ALL phone companies had a store to download shit from for a looooooooong time before iphone or even ipod
So it's safe to say you're not surprised. Seems the author was right. ;)

93rd rule of Slashdot: No matter how obvious my sarcasm is, my comment will be taken seriously by someone.
None. Is that something you do on a regular basis?

True, bluetooth headphones are perfect when you have to take a #2.
