On Monday, Samsung introduced its first Google Android device, the Samsung I7500. While many were disappointed to hear that Samsung had initially delayed its Android devices till the second half of the year, the I7500 will be available in major European markets starting in June.
I think by the time these phones come to India, I will be a senior citizen:-x.

Am a sucker for mobile phones and the same time can't stand the sight of WinMo and Symbian. So the anticipation is killing me!!!

Android has no GCC but Bionic. This means a majority of existing linux apps will have to be slightly rewritten. Why can't andriod support GCC like a normal linux platform ?

After I looked into android a little more, its seeming more and more like Google Chrome. Great and all that, but lots still to be had.
