Hey Scoble, don't you look like a clown! Look where Android is now and where they're heading.
It's a pity an iTard fanboi like yourself has no vision. Maybe you should just stay at home wanking off to your precious Ifone playing World of Warcraft with your ibuddies.

I suspect the big news will be when Android is ported to small notebook computers like the ASUS Eee PC. Imagine an Eee PC with a 10 inch high-resolution touch screen and 3G mobile phone capabilities and include a Bluetooth headset. What an awesome combination! Great for the business traveler on the road.

I’m really looking forward to Google getting some success with the Android platform so as to create a bit of competition with Apple’s iPhone. I really hope Android plays avi and other video format files including Flash.

I think the iPhone can credit much of it’s success to the massive following that Apple seem to have at the moment. It borders on a cult following at this time.

Google are going to have to work very hard to try and compete with that. That said I believe that Google are really going to do a Microsoft on this one. No doubt they will release the software with bugs and we’ll have folk calling Android the next Vista.

Horrible video, I agree. Seems like Google is just bad at PR.

On the other hand, I don’t think Google should be the ones doing the publicizing for android. Rather, it should be done by the phone manufacturers and service providers, as they have more experience and a better infrastructure in this regard.

And that leads me to the point of this post. Google was advertising to developers. Those people who are going to make android in to a viable competitor in terms of functionality.

There is time enough later for promotional stunts and gimmicks. What needed to get done asap was the developer involvement. And in this respect Google succeeded.
