iPhones Move Over-Google Unveils Android Phone; Due in Stores October 17!!!!!!!

by **J The Kidd** Wed Sep 17, 2008 1:31 pm

It looks like Google was doing its best to spread Android fever in
London this morning, with it taking advantage of its Developer Day
event to show off a working Android phone for the first time in Europe.
While Google apparently wasn't quite ready to take all the wraps off
the suspiciously Dream-like handset itself (due in stores on October
17), PC Pro reports that it looked "far more polished" than it did in
earlier leaked videos, and that by all accounts it was actually a
"finished commercial device."

Google's Mike Jennings was, on the other hand, more than eager to talk
about the phone's operating system (OS), and he even dropped a
tantalizing "why not?" when asked if Android could be used on devices
other than phones. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any video of
the event available, but you can check out a few first hand reports by
