Google finally launched its first mobile device embedding Android. We all agree, it’s no iPhone; it’s not that pretty, got flaws and lack some hardware capabilities but it has a lot of potential, the potential to become the de-facto OS for smartphones — and probably low-end devices.

Actually, Android is more a threat to RIM, Microsoft or Nokia than it is to Apple, because it targets their market. Android being free, I’m pretty sure we’ll see it in a lot of phones coming from Chinese manufacturers; in the end, a big win for Google since more people would use its services.
