Android is a new operating system for phones that is being developed by Google. The phone is an open source project, like Linux, which will allow users and developers to change the code on the phone. This is a departure from the regularly locked down software in cellphones, such as Windows Mobile and iPhone. The goal is to make it so programs can run on an android phone and are interoperable. This could make it so Web 2.0 applications work on more phones and in the same manner. Engadget has a write up on it here.

This is the best news in the cell phone industry that I have heard in a very long time. Not a surprise that the featured phone is made by HTC. I recently found out that they make some amazingly customizable phones (see Jenn H.'s new-found freedom as a Verizon customer for more details). I'm excited to see what Android is all about. Great post!
