Engadget posted photos from a Chinese forum showing off a T-Mobile branded HTC Dream running Google’s Android mobile operating system. I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Android will do once it hits the market, and it looks like the first device to hit will be pretty impressive. It doesn’t look extremely slim, but it seems comparable to most of the smartphones on the market now. I expect that the physical keyboard will draw some early adopters who haven’t wanted to go the completely touch-screen route. I’m looking forward to seeing the phone in person.

I haven’t written about it yet because there’s a lot of coverage on it, and I’m still figuring things out. From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like a real industry-changing event. Android can be used by any company, and can be programmed for by anyone. The video below shows some really awesome software that Google has already developed in-house.

But the exciting thing is, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Now that the SDK is out, talented developers are going to jump on this and create software that we can’t even imagine right now. Especially since Google has set aside $10,000,000 to give to the most creative and active developers. I’m very excited to see what happens.
Engadget has a lot more information and videos.
