The blogosphere hasn’t treated Android well — the SDK has taken many months to get to this stage since it was announced last year. The anti-Android trend will likely continue as commentators compare the HTC and the iPhone (the iPhone is better), and also say the U.S. T-Mobile network is bad (it is).
I agree that Android is part of a larger push by Google What struck me when reading Google’s technical papers is that the company seems to be considering an approach that puts some functions in the cloud and others in devices. When the two are hooked together, a different type of computing environment becomes possible.
