Engadget Mobile posted screenshots of the Google "Android" software development kit and the screenshots look very nice for something that is just going to be used to develop apps.

There's been a fair bit of criticism about Android and how sterile it looks (presumably in comparison to the iPhone) but for something that isn't even a product, I think it actually looks pretty good. And I'm excited about the fact that it will be an open product for development and runs under Linux. The first time that I SSH'd into my iPhone I thought "how cool is that... I'm able to check the processes running on my phone" but Android should take this to a whole new level.
Coupling an "open device" like Android with the the 700MHz auction ( http://www.informationweek.com...ml?articleID=206501363 ) and it's open access requirements for supporting any device or application and I think the future for cell phones to become portable, high-speed internet computing and entertainment devices is bright.
