Android 2.2, AKA "Froyo," was announced amid wild phone-nerd scenes a couple of months back, although we're yet to see much of it in the wild.

Several months ago, at the last part of my 'Wassup Android?' post I said,I'm planning to get a new cell phone by the end of the year. An ultra sleek and sexy Android-powered Motorola RAZR would be nice,

Android is maturing, both for developers and consumers. Will it dominate the mobile market? 2010 may bring the answer. Two years ago I began writing a book about writing applications for Android. Back then, most people had not heard of Android — in fact, unless you’re a phone-geek or a Linux fan, you may still not have heard of Android.

Unless you are one of the few who have upgraded to Froyo, or you have rooted your Android phone, chances are, you are still not able to tether using your Android phone. Those who are seeking a solution, PdaNet is the easiest way available to provide tethering to your Mac or PC.

An Australian firm today announced "the first Aussie phone powered by Android." Kogan Technologies sells two models of the Kogan Agora without a contract, with both Linux/Android phones offering 3G and Bluetooth connectivity, and the pricier "Pro" adding a 2-Mpixel camera, WiFi, and GPS, says Kogan.

The T-Mobile G1, the first phone to run Google's Linux-based, open-source Android phone operating system, may have had some issues and never really taken off, but that doesn't mean Android won't take off. In fact, I think it is almost certain to take off.

The free and open source software community has been waiting for the G1 cell phone since it was first announced in July. Source code for Google's Android mobile platform has been available, but the G1 marks its commercial debut. It's clearly a good device, but is it what Linux boosters and FOSS advocates have long been anticipating?

As we've noted before, the T-Mobile G1 or "Google phone," based on Android, is doing better than expected. In 2009, many Android phones are going to be appearing, and as applications and innovative designs proliferate, they could give the iPhone a run for its money. Today, photos are appearing of Lenovo's Ophone, which is an Android phone that it has slated for delivery in China.

Just recently, the Linux-based Android phone has been successfully introduced to the public. Google, T-Mobile, and HTC put on a show in New York that attracted huge media interest. Now, it's time to see Android perform, though we'll have to wait before G1 goes on sale starting October 22.
