The Open Handset Alliance shares a common goal of fostering innovation on mobile devices and giving consumers a far better user experience than much of what is available on today's mobile platforms. By providing developers a new level of openness that enables them to work more collaboratively, Android will accelerate the pace at which new and compelling mobile services are made available to consumers.
The global smartphone market is still RIM's to lose, with Apple in the pole position to profit from its mistakes.

Google's smartphone is one of the most iconic consumer electronics launches of the year, as its integration with Google multiple services freed internet shoppers from wireless carriers' service contract stranglehold. Many other devices that use Google's Android OS are being released, helping Google approach the top of the mobile OS market. Importantly, Google is assembling a community of telecoms and handset manufacturers locked out of the iPhone game.
