Slowly and painfully Google's Android mobile initiative is coming into sharper focus. Gizmodo has a nice video review of Android's progress thus far, and now we have word that the HTC Dream is about to become the very first commercially available Android based mobile to go on sale sometime later this year.
According to the HTC Dream's website, many of the exact specifications and details are still a mystery, but leaks have pointed out the following Android Dream features:
• Large touchscreen with haptic feedback
• Full QWERTY keypad
• 5 inches long and 3 inches wide
• Keypad that either slides or swivels for easy typing/texting
• Internet navigation controls below the touchscreen display
Of course, this all sounds very exciting, but the question on everybody's mind is what kind of impact will this have on the iPhone, the device that has inspired Google, and many others, to create Android and all of the other knockoff's in the first place? Will Android based mobile's finally become the iPhone killer's that some are predicting? That's hard to say, but some in the know are already reporting that Android is looking a little rough around the corners when compared to the elegance of the iPhone.
