Android Walks Out of the Mist (Linux Journal)

Linux Journal covers the release of the first phone to implement the Android mobile platform. "The first phone to implement Google's Open Source Android mobile platform -- the eagerly-anticipated T-Mobile G1 -- made its maiden voyage today, launching to the expected fanfare and with the surprise appearance of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin -- on rollerblades. Developed by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC as the Dream, the G1 is Google's first volley in the ever-increasingly hostile mobile phone wars. The phone carries with it Google's reputation -- with the search giant's logo conspicuously placed on the phone's case where the manufacturer's normally would be -- as well as its noted prowess in launching things the computing public will find indispensable."
