Ashtrash, you don’t understand the US carrier market. The carriers do yield a lot of power, and dictate what goes on the phones.

Enough with the Google love already. OpenMoko is a serious contender as well. It’s both hardware and software.

Wake up.. T-mobile, ATT, Sprint, China mobile are all network operators. I’m not sure if this is news for anyone but it’s not the network operator that develops the phones that will run Android as their OS..

So it doesn’t matter what any of these operators say. The deciding factor is if there are any phone manufacturer that will be able to deliver a stable, secure Android powered phone this year to these operators.

Looking at the announced delays from the operators they are not able to get these devices and it will be the same case for T-mobile, maybe they just haven’t received the bad news yet from their phone supplier.

And Google is putting an apps market like Apple with the iPhone. You can see presentations >Google Android Developer Challenge - Top 46 apps I'd like also to hear what you think about this article Google Union or the virtual communism of the digital age?

This Android delay is music to Apple’s ears. Whilst Google spends the next six or more months trying to develop their Android Mobile, Apple can spend the same time perfecting their next iPhone Model. So that once Android is at last ready to launch, Apple can rain on their parade almost instantly.

Whilst Google likes to praise the Android Mobile, as the first open source Mobile Network, it is at the end of the day an attempt by Google to create a ‘Walled Garden’ of Google Services for a Mobile Web O/S.
Apple gives Google fantastic presence on the iPhone, through Google Maps, YouTube and of course Google Search. But somehow I don’t think Google will return the compliment on their own Android Platform.

Ha ha ha ha…now I know the real IQ and intelligence levels of TechCrunch readers…..pretty low!

iPhone having 44% of mobile platform share, Android 29% and Windows Mobile only 8%! – what are you dudes smoking!

Thank god you don’t advise people where to put their money or are being paid to make predictions about technology.

Let’s set this poll result in concrete on the home page of TechCruch so I can laugh at the ridiculousness of it and it’s respondents in 5 years time!

“@4, the data plans are bad though. It was $100 min a month and often times more for iPhone 1.0″

A data plan for the iPhone is $20 a month for unlimited data. One of the cheapest available. The cheapest iPhone plans with voice and data were around $60 a month. Where did you get $100 min from? The data plan for a blackberry and many other smart phones is $35. With the iPhone 3G it will be $30 a month for unlimited data. The iPhone sounds pretty reasonable to me.

In a couple of sentences, the author here hit the point on the head: Who cares what developers think is cool? Ever since the Apple announced the iPhone SDK and the distribution scheme, all I ever see are complaints from developers about having to use Objective-C and of having to sell only through Apple. What I don’t ever see from these developers is “Wow, a viable mobile platform I can develop for that is actually accepted by the public!”

Android is so much like the iPhone, I ask myself, what’s the point? Oh it’s open source. Yeah, go ask the general public, if they ever heard of OpenOffice. Ask them if they ever used Linux. Sure, FireFox is popular with the public. But is it because it’s open-source or because it’s so much better than IE. My guess it’s the latter. The general public DOES NOT CARE whether something is open-source or not.

Oh, and as a bonus, developing an app for the iPhone pretty much means you also developed an app for the Mac or vice versa. When you develop for the Android what else can that app run on? Great one more different platform to program for.

Who cares about the carriers? Just get the device makers on-board with a Android-based GSM phone, and I’ll slip my SIM in it. Phone subsidies are for those that don’t understand TCO.

It’ll be interesting to see if the carriers go for one right away, go for all of them or wait and see which one prevails – which could lead them to come in too late.

With the iPhone’s strong push in the mobile market and with others – not as popular, using pico projectors – we, as users can only gain from the wide array of choices. That’s a link to an article about all the different choices that are coming up.

My own app has nothing to do with VoIP, but I am a bit of a Linux hacker, so if nobody else tries, I will surely try. Since it’s FOSS there will be no protections. The only protections could come at the provider where they could block traditional VoIP ports. Then you can burrow through that with tunneling.

3g would be ideal, but I’m pretty sure you could do it with t-mobile’s network too if you compressed the voice stream enough.

We literally have the potential never to deal with “minute plans” or “long distance” fees again.

That is why Google’s is going to be so much better than Apple’s. If something like that takes off, Google is simply going to go “ooops”. It’s open source.
