    I honestly don’t think that the HTC Dream is going to be ground-breaking as a mobile phone; however, at its heart, Android will be a dominant force in the future. Many people are underplaying Google as having rushed the debut of Android on the Dream due to a lack of some commonplace features (support for Exchange, 3.5 mm input, more memory, etc.) Google, as always, will surprise all the competition sometime in the future. This is the beginning of Android, and I’m eager to see what next year’s lineup of phones has to offer.

    I seconded that, personally I don’t think how Android will be different from the Windows Mobiles devices out there in the market now except better touch screen. It also does not have the cool factor that is found in the iPhone.
