It wasn't too long ago that Google announced their OHA (Open Handset Alliance) and the Linux-based Android platform. Once Android demonstrations started popping up all over the blogosphere, we couldn't wait to get our hands on an Android-powered device. Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait longer still. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google's [...]

Just as we're getting used to the fact that the HTC Dream, is, well, a smartphone-dream come true, we're getting more details on the upcoming Android-powered handset's spec-sheet. As if that glorious Google Maps demonstration and huge touchscreen functionality weren't enough,  the HTC Dream will apparently be rocking 3.6Mbps HSDPA, 128MB RAM / 256MB ROM, and [...]

The near-mythical HTC Dream handset has been rumored for longer than we can remember, and we can't wait to get our hands on the device that was once thought to be the Google Phone (gPhone). Alas, we'll have to wait until Google and HTC can work out the niggling details on the Android OS that [...]

Handset manufacturers are scrambling to get their wares mated to Google's Linux-based Android OS, and it looks like Qualcomm's lending a helping hand. The chip-making giant has announced that it's hooked up with several OEMs looking to launch an Android-powered handset this year.  It makes sense for Qualcomm to help these handset manufacturers develop their [...]

Remember those mysterious HTC smartphones that made an appearance in the picture that Stefan found? Right, well it seems that those two HTC Kaisers (HTC TyTn II's), HTC Touch, HTC Touch Cruise,  and HTC P3470 were joined by what could be the HTC Dream. Take a look at the picture again. You see that QWERTY-sliding [...]

We can't wait to get some serious Android-kit into our sweaty, grubby hands. The launch of the Android-powered HTC Dream is at the very top of our gotta-see list. And, HTC could be setting the stage to unveil the HTC Dream for Android-duty in the near future. HTC sent out invitations for some sort of press [...]

If you're feeling a tinge of deja vu all over again, it's because this has all happened before. HTC, long known to be developing a handset running the Android open-source OS, has finally come out in the open and announced that their Android handset will be called the "Dream." Back in the early days of the [...]

No, Android isn't yet commercially available. But, if it were, you could be running your web-server straight from your Android handset with an Android port of the Jetty open-source web-server. Called iJetty, the Android version of Jetty allows any Android handset to use the Java app to run their very own mobile web-server. Webtide's developers crunched [...]

File this under “we’re so not sure about it,” but the word on the street is that the search giant has reserved two stands at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It’s important to understand the Mobile World Congress is the place to be for all major mobile industry players and Google may only the floor space to showcase its mobile applications and services (GMail, Maps, mobile search). We’ll certainly drop by their booth and hopefully catch a glimpse of the upcoming Android device. Yeah, I’m speculating, or maybe even hoping… We’ll see… [Via: uberphones ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:3GSM World Congress live on mobile TVWillcom shows off Android prototype - multi-tasking on Android is a goAndroid SDK full of bugs, lacks support - developers frustratedGoogle Checkout goes mobileHTC could ship 1 million Android handsets in 2008

Google is the last company we would have expected to botch a platform launch . But, in hindsight, they may have rushed things a bit more than would have been prudent. After all, there’s a fair amount of heat coming from Cupertino, and we’re sure Google didn’t want to get burned by holding off on Android any longer than they did. There’s a problem. Developers are getting frustrated trying to deal with the Android SDK ’s bugs and lack of documentation. Furthermore, Google’s ommission of a tracking system for reported issues is hindering the Android development push. The general feeling in the land of Android-development is that the platform just isn’t ready to the big-time. Bugs have to be ironed out, documentation needs to be published, and an issue-tracking system needs to be developed. Still, Ars Technica’s Ryan Paul took a whack at the Android SDK and found that “Despite some of the bugs and limitations in the API, it is definitely a viable and effective platform for application development.” He goes on to say that the API is “conducive to rapid application development, but there are still some gaps… it doesn’t make it easy to create applications that have a really polished look and feel.” Hey Google, get that documentation out quick. Apple’s iPhone SDK is looming and you just don’t have the time to fiddle with whatever pet-projects are responsible for this Android-oversight. We can’t wait for those first Android devices next year, they better not be filled with bugs (or look huge/ugly , for that matter)!
