Android phone to be released next week

After a very long wait, it's finally here! The first android phone will be released on September 23, 2008. Here are some short info you may want to read about the device/platform:

Price is tagged $199 USD (I don't know how much this thing will cost here in the Philippines).

Android OS platform will be an open one. This means you don't need to sign any non-disclosure agreement or whatsover just like what you did on iPhone.

Java will be used to develop the application. Let's face it, java is so much easier compared to objective-c (probably for me).
