Android would have been different if Apple hadn't released iPhone.

Now, everybody will copy Apple's innovation and try to improve it.

Why would you rent or buy movies on your phone? That is dumb.

I don't know that I would call it dumb, but it could present pretty hefty bandwidth problems, at least on 3G.

Nothing is better than Amazon at being a one-stop shop where I can read reviews from others that tell me more than Cnet ever could.
And I already get ALL my MP3s there so this is a great move on Bezos part. Audible was bought by Amazon , so I`m hoping gPhone will have Audible support. If so , I`m in !
Jeff Bezos is better than Steve Jobs ! He is God LOL

Agreed. I prefer Amazon to most online venders, especially FleeBay. It's just a great online shopping experience. Excellent move! I hope the phone lives up to it's hype. It just says "Freedom" to me.

Apple produces the most closed , propriatary , DRMd products on earth.
Android will offer an open system and beat iPhone on price for the same features. Android WILL gain traction and eventually surpass iPhone`s closed system. Apple`s App store is a joke...they won`t allow apps that out-do Apple because they call this a competitive threat. Well guess what ? Android will let you run ANY app. Apple=Crapple !

But Apple has been the strongest advocate for *not* having DRM. They've begged record companies to remove it and finally got a few on board for iTunes Plus. In fact, sites with things like Netflix's Instant Play option don't work on a Mac (unless you switch to Windows on a newer Mac) because Apple refuses to support DRM for video.

You are little closed minded aren't you? Your nick says it all.

Apple <> Crapple! That is a fact!!!

I am just so tired of bugs like you. You annoy like a mosquitoes and do not contribute in anything to scientific elocutions or technology evolution. Just move to prehistorical age so you can complain about fire is not perfect because it burns if not controlled. Or about the wheel because it just turns.

My opinion is that does not matter if Google copies or if Android is better or worst than iPhone OS. What it matter is there are a new product with new policies and objectives to provide some consumers with a good service, that is my hope.

Is my believe that Android been open source and Linux based, could really revolutionary this mobile sector. But do not forget that Apple was the pioneer in the mobile phone revolution with iPhone/iPhone 3G. So lets not fight about "my is better than yours" lets just see if is a good product or not. Apple is a brand with a lot of fantastic products, so is google a brand with lots of marvelous services. Booth enterprises are good and booth with lots of great intelligence. So hope Android surprise us in a good way, because that could boost some others to try harder and try be more open. Evolution always!

Good luck Android, and yes I have a iPhone 3G and love it.
