While it’s still up in the air whether anyone actually cares about Android, people sure like to talk about it. Just last week, a Global Equities Research analyst’s proclamation that the first Android handsets would miss their 2008 target was enough to set message boards around the tubes ablaze, until HTC came along and cleared things up.
Piggybacking on HTC’s tidings of assurance are rumors of internal code names, release schedules, and pricing for the world’s first Android handset, the HTC Dream.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. There are so many rumors and so little proof at this time.

HTC has some really great phones, it would be nice to see Android on it.

I remain hopeful. It’s time for some new blood in the arena, and I’m trying not to be impatient.
HTC tends to make phones/PDAs with feature sets that look very good on paper. I am less impressed by basic things such as call handling, getting a contact QUICKLY, etc.
Still I like HTC’s efforts and I hope this rumor is true and that it will be a great device…
It’s yet to be seen what happens with this project and if something intersting will come of it. It will be nice to see what advances will be made in this area.

Jan, its not HTCs fault. They are using existing software (WinMo) with carrier specifications. There isn’t much they can do to improve. They made the Touchflo and Cube to help but they can only so much. I think that is why they are foaming at the mouth for Google to get it going with Android. They will finally have an OS to show off the full capabilities of their devices.
Android running on Sprint’s Touch is pretty darn fast, on par if not faster than the iPhone. It looks beautiful, runs fast and is shaping up to be nice. Now if we could get a stable version of Android to get some real development going, that would be awesome. Check out the installer for Touch at http://www.myhtcphone.com

Looks like the screen’s touch sensitivity still needs work, and the phone may still be slow from debugging SW.
Greg next time when you write give some credit also to tmonews since they originate the rumor. I originate the rumor about the pre-sale
which you can read now.
Ttyl.

You want dubious credit when you’re sucking off the TechCrunch brand?
Tard.
but will it have Exchange support?
To say, “it’s still up in the air whether anyone actually cares about android,” makes no sense. Even those who don’t want to see Android like the Pandora CEO understand it will have HUGE implications for the ENTIRE mobile market.
So if you don’t care now… you have some rethinking to do.
So when are they going to make Android SDK truely opensource ?
