Android phone is here

NYT is reporting that T-Mobile will offer the first phone running Android this holiday season. While this is good news for Google fans, the market place is really crowded with iPhone, RIMM. Windows Mobile, Symbian and LiMo. Many of these OSs have found traction in the market place with devices, applications, developers and carriers. It will be interesting to see how Google penetrates this market. The thing that they have going for them is the established base of users who use their search engine and other applications. Many of them would move with their applications from the desktop to a mobile device. I think Google's location aware ads and navigation service and search results would be key. Similarly, Google Talk could stretch its presence footprint across both the desktop and mobile device. These basic functions are what consumers look for in their mobile device and Google may have the good enough answer.
