The main question on the minds of most cell phone users is, will this phone finally beat out the offerings from Apple? So far the Motorola droid is the closest thing to it though it just lost by a hair in the CNET Prize Fight series with Brian Tong.

One thing seems sure, that Googles over all market penetration will exceed that iPhone because of Androids open platform. Android is not tied to a device or carrier and is much more open then Apple. Google recently released its secret phones for use by some employees that lead to some leaks videos and unofficial reviews online. Now with its release we will soon see the results of there efforts
