Japanese operator Willcom has been showing off (via Engadget) a prototype device running Google’s Android platform. The screenshots look pretty nice, but they’re really going to have to work on the form factor and design if they want to sell many of these. Also, having an ethernet jack instead of a mobile data connection probably won’t work too well out in the real world.
Very “open”
I like the ribbon cable which can be used to hook it to a belt; nice touch
The sim slot is also ideal for swapping between different sim cards. Hurrah.
