Android sounds promising but I'm not holding my breath.

The carriers and cell companies have the tendency to make software worse - like taking Windows Mobile and adding all sorts of crap to it - I cant imagine what they will do with this open software. Remember, they have the ability to lock it down if the want to too. How many flavors of Android will we end up with once all the carriers and cell makers get their hands on it and twist it in their favor?

Open Source is great and all for developers but very few open source programs receive the polished look consumers are expecting. Without one company pushing for a complete polished package I have a feeling this will turn into something like the Ubuntu OS project. A sort of Mobile OS for tech hobbyist.

How about some real details Google?
