Android the Open Handset Alliance platform previewed by Google

With the recent announce of the Android platform it is clear that there will be NO Gphone. But infact Google's and Open Handset Alliance plans are to make all phones powered by Android a Gphones. Google's founder Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz just uploaded a couple of videos to YouTube which shows how an Android based mobile phone could look in the future.

In this video they show the first non-touchscreen device a kind of back and home button, similar to the button-layout we've seen with Windows Mobile Standard phones. The second phone platform Steve Horowitz showcases is a touchscreen smartphone with 3G capabilities. They have shown the Android's basics in this video and as you will understand after watching it, there is allready a contest for Android platform developers with $10,000,000 for rewards. Very nice!
