Android Mobile OS: Still Coming in Late ‘08

By Scott Loganbill June 23, 2008 Categories: Uncategorized

Cellphone carriers are reporting that the Google-led mobile operating system Android is going to be delayed. Official word from Google is the operating system is still on track for a 2008 release.

“We remain on schedule to deliver the first Android-based handset in the second half of 2008 and we’re very excited to see the momentum continuing to build behind the Android platform among carriers, handset manufacturers, developers and consumers.”

Monday’s Wall Street Journal reports that cellphone carriers and makers are struggling to keep up with Google’s software changes, causing delays. It appears that whatever delay there is might just be a difference in expectations between Google and cellphone suppliers.

In other words, wake me up when Android is delayed past 2008, but please wake me up. The mobile operating system promises to make up for whatever disappointments Apple’s iPhone 2.0 software announcement may have had.
