T-Mobile Unveiling 1st Android Handset In September Comments

I'm looking forward to seeing whether Android can leapfrog the iPhone in functionality and desireability.

For me personally, the prospect of being able to develop some Java home-brew apps will give Android an instant leg-up over iPhone... although on a handset where I can't (easily) sync my iTunes purchases.

This does appear to be the first mobile OS to offer an iPhone class web-experience, combined with a more open platform allowing, rather than discouraging flexibility and innovation (flash and java content in a web page anyone?).

Interesting couple of months ahead - definitely worth holding on to your money a few more weeks until the dust settles.
