Google Android Prototype

Last month, Google officially introduced the world to Android, their soon-to-be-released mobile phone operating system that promises to revolutionize the wireless industry. Since then we haven’t had much to go on; a few demo/developer videos, loads of speculation, and now what appears to be a photo of Android installed on an actual mobile device. The photo (pictured above) was sent to Gizmodo from an anonymous reader, along with a few of his/her thoughts on their user experience thus far.

Our source, a Giz reader, had some feedback to add to the prototype, which he used for a day: Even in early form, it’s light and fast, much faster than the desktop emulator at times. And as a longtime programmer, he thinks it’s a lot more put together than Window Mobile 5 on the back side of things. It’s a prototype, so things will obviously change, but these are all great signs.

Unfortunately, we still have quite a while before we see the official Android release (late 2008 at the earliest), but stay tuned.
