The news that technology sites have been living on for the fast few weeks is finally out now- Google officialy announced Gooogle Android platform which will be a free OS for smartphones in the future. The OS is expected to come to handsets by 2008. Google seems to be taking on Microsoft again by offering for free to manufacturers a mobile OS for which Windows Mobile charges them. But this time its also taking on Apple, Nokia etc all those who make Mobile OS. The price of a phone using Android is expected to be more affordablr compared to others because the manufacturer won't have to pay for the Os.
The OS will be Linux based and is not Googles alone according to the announcement 33 companies have collaborated to build Android. Companies such as Nokia, Apple and Microsoft have already dismissed dangers from an Android but knowing Google this is certainly not the end!
