The Android news keeps getting better and better. The latest rumour from the US is that the soon to be released Motorola Droid will run Android OS version 2.0.
The next great operating systems wars are about to be fought, as traditional computing companies collide with teams representing the mobile phone industry.
Samsung will launch four very different touchscreen smartphones under one name, calling them the Icon range.
Microsoft appears to be joining Apple and Google in the mobile "apps store" market.
Australia's first smartphone to run on Google's Android, the Kogan Agora Pro, has been delayed indefinitely with its distributor citing its low-resolution display as the reason for not shipping the handset in its current form.
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
With the Australian release of two Android powered smartphones coming closer to fruition, it's time to chuck these Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots in the ring.
Given the hype around anything with a single-letter prefix m-commerce, e-learning, iPhone last year's speculation over a Google "gPhone" sent the blogosphere into overdrive. The Android mobile phone platform that Google actually launched, however, took things in quite a different direction.
Google's recent announcement of Android has sparked a debate over whether the mobile Linux platform will prove more secure than Apple's proprietary iPhone.
Google's Andy Rubin talks nuts and bolts about the Linux-based phone software, the lessons of Sidekick, and the beauty of the iPhone.

HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.
We're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features; however, the Google Android platform has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.
With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.
