• At its core, Android forms the basis for Google'soperating system and supporting software for phones. In Google's ownwords, it's a software stack.
• Two separate but relatedentities form the basis for today's announcement: the Linux-basedAndroid mobile platform (a result of Google's 2005 acquisition of astart-up of the same name) and the Open Handset Alliance, a 33-stronggroup of device manufacturers, component manufacturers, softwarecompanies, and carriers that have committed to working with Android.
• Thereis no cut and dried "Gphone" and Google doesn't intend (or at least ithasn't indicated an intent) to enter the hardware business. Instead,it'll leave that to established players like HTC, LG, and Samsung --and theoretically, anyone else that wants to have a go at it since theAndroid platform and its code base is wide open.
• Unlikethe platform itself, there's no guarantee that devices based on theAndroid platform will be open to third party developers. Google saysthat'll be left to manufacturers and carriers to be decide, although itdoubts they'll choose to lock them down (hmm, has Google ever workedwith a carrier before?)
• Nokia, Apple (on whose board Google CEO Eric Schmidt sits), Palm, and Microsoft are notably absent from the alliance. Palm has come out today to announce that it intends to continue to integrate Google services into its future products.
• Carrierscurrently in the alliance include China Mobile, KDDI, NTT DoCoMo,Sprint Nextel, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, and T-Mobile. T-Mobile andSprint Nextel are the two national US carriers that are signed up;AT&T and Verizon are not.
• The first Android-powereddevices are expected in the second half of 2008. Rumor has it thatGoogle has been using an HTC-sourced device, the "Dream,"to demonstrate Android to potential partners. HTC may launch a versionof the Dream as one of its first handsets to use the platform.

Carefully orchestrated announcements for broad, sweeping initiatives like the one staged by Google today don't always do a great job of diving straight into the meat and telling it like it is, so we thought we'd boil down the Android and Open Handset Alliance switch as best we could into a tight, easy to digest series of bullets. If this list is still wider than your attention span, though, just know this: you can pick up your Google-powered phone in the latter half of 2008.

Two separate but related entities form the basis for today's announcement: the Linux-based Android mobile platform (a result of Google's 2005 acquisition of a start-up of the same name) and the Open Handset Alliance, a 33-stronggroup of device manufacturers, component manufacturers, softwarecompanies, and carriers that have committed to working with Android.

两个独立分开但又有关联的主体构成了今天发布的基础：基于Linux的Android手机平台（Google在2005年获得的一个同名启动项目的结果）和开放式手持设备联盟，一个由33家强势设备制造商，配件制造商，软件公司和有意于开发研制Android的运营商

Thereis no cut and dried "Gphone" and Google doesn't intend (or at least ithasn't indicated an intent) to enter the hardware business. Instead,it'll leave that to established players like HTC, LG, and Samsung --and theoretically, anyone else that wants to have a go at it since theAndroid platform and its code base is wide open.

' T% r; n) u: v目前“Gphone”还未成定局，Google也无意踏足于（或者他还没表态）硬件制造领域。实际上，他会由目前的厂商如，HTC,LG和三星来生产，从理论上来说，任何想使用这个系统的制造商均可，因为Android平台和代码都是完全开源的。

Unlikethe platform itself, there's no guarantee that devices based on theAndroid platform will be open to third party developers. Google saysthat'll be left to manufacturers and carriers to be decide, although itdoubts they'll choose to lock them down (hmm, has Google ever workedwith a carrier before?)

: r/ M& v8 D/ K0 p; u; z不像其他操作平台那样，不会保证基于Adndroid平台的设备会面向第三方开发者开放，Google说这些将由制造商和运营商来决定，虽然有可能他们会将其封闭锁定（嗯，Google有和电讯运营商打过交道吗？）

很明显，NOKIA,APPLE(Google的CEO Eric Schmidt在其董事会任职），palm和微软都没出现在这个联盟当中，Palm今天宣称他们会继续在将来的产品当中集成Google的服务。（新款755P中就集成了GOOGLEMAP）

Carrierscurrently in the alliance include China Mobile, KDDI, NTT DoCoMo,Sprint Nextel, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, and T-Mobile. T-Mobile andSprint Nextel are the two national US carriers that are signed up;AT&T and Verizon are not.

第一款基于Android的设备预期将于2008年第二季度上市，传言说Google正在使用一款HTC提供的设备，“Dream（梦想）”,来向他潜在的合作伙伴展示Android，HTC可能会推出Dream（梦想）的一款机型作为基于这个平台的第一台设备。

我是笨蛋

是卒子叫我们来顶的，gphoe？iphone暂时都没兴趣，何况gphone

出了真机再说哦，反正palm日落西山是不争的事实。

Linux上的手机操作平台有的是，比如三星用的U什么的，Access的ALP，还有Palm自己开发的Linux平台，能用不能用就看谁的本事了。

不过是另外一个嵌入式设备的系统平台而已，没什么大不了的。

这几个Linux平台里，我反倒更看好Palm的Linux平台。Palm的Linux平台已具雏形，Foleo就是一个例证，只不过是迫于Palm新领导层的压力才不得不流产，现在Palm专心致志打造自己的Linux平台，起码在时间上就比Gphone在前头。Palm既然有勇气连Access的ALP都可以束之高阁，看来志向不小。

又一次打了Palm一巴掌

真心希望Palm能重振雄风。

价格便宜可以考虑试试

对于GOOGLE的东西还是比较感兴趣的
