I've been following it's story all week and it seems pretty good however it has no support for multiple Google accounts and Google Maps apparantly have more features on the iPhone.

I don't know where it sits in the market though, it sort of fills a gap which wasn't needed. You had the business end of the market which has been enjoyed by Windows Mobile & Blackberry for many many years, and then we had the introduction of the iPhone (And iPod Touch) which sort of made the whole smartphone thing 'Cool'. It featured music and video players etc. It didn't compete with WM & BB, it just opened Smartphones up to a lot more people.

But this doesn't compete in either market, it competes with them all, and loses IMO. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge user of Google applications but Windows Mobile and Blackberry is excellent for business, it synchronizes with Outlook & Microsoft Exchange Server very well, and that's basically all the phones do (They do other things but this is the whole purpose of them). No serious business uses Google Docs or Google Calendar so I have no idea what use Android is for business's wanting to organise employees outside the Office and keep everything in sync.

Then we have the Android bit which tries to compete with iPhone, it has a rather poor looking MP3 Player and has a deal with 'Amazon MP3 Store' which looks very much like Apples DRM Store, but it's music collection is no where near as vast. The web browser is also very similar to Safari and of course on the iPhone's you get excellent synchronization with iTunes and you get a lot more space for songs (Micro SD Cards shouldn't be used as MP3 Players).

Seems to be selling well but I think the phone has no real purpose and if you look elsewhere, you can do everything better. And now I'm wondering why I've gone off on one when no one cares about the Android on here LOL.
