Android: iPhone Killer?

Probably not but it is a welcome development for consumer electronics geeks anyhow.  T-Mobile is launching the first Android based phone, the G1, in October.  Android is an open source, linux based operating system and it has been launched by Google. Anyhow, I have demonstrated total incompetence in forecasting consumer trends (see Smart Car, T-Mobile Wifi extender), so I won't venture to do so here.
