Wow. Google's share prices must be on the rise. First it was the release of Chrome. And now, albeit finally, the release of Google Android, Google's open source handset operating system. I've read about its pending release for quite some time already. I'm not exactly sure what the impact will be like since Google isn't exactly the lifestyle branding powerhouse that Apple is. I mean the first release of the iPhone was in the last 2 days of their second financial quarter and it still managed to generate 2 million+ in profits for them. I wonder if the first Google Android phone will get the same reception. 

I guess this is something that tech geeks will buy into more than your traditional consumer. As much as it is a handset debut, it is actually more of a software/OS debut. The phone itself does not really matter. What matters is what goes into it. I predict that this first "render", if you would like to call it that, of the Google Android OS may not be that perfect. It may take some other handset manufacturer or even some independent developer to really unlock what this handset OS is able to do. iPhone killer it may not be, but it could set the standard as to how handsets are supposed to function in the future.
