Google / Android ’s Andy Rubin enunciate atthe Google I / O conferencethatGoogle await 18 - 20 Android phonesthis yr from 8 or 9 manufacturers — and those are just the machine they be intimate about .

More interesting , perhaps , is how they fall along the Android lines — there are seemingly three ways for a manufacturer to put Android on their sound with varying levels of Google control ( though all are free ) . The “ no strings ” version anyone can take hold of , but it does n’t have Google ’s apps . The “ small strings ” version includes an agreement to lot Google ’s apps , and 12 - 14 are this flavor .
The last one , aka the Google Experience , is like the G1 — you’ve acquire Google apps and an agreement from both the carrier and phonemaker that they wo n’t restrict access to the Android market at all . you may espy these phones by the Google logo literally brand onto them . ( These are the Android phones you plausibly require . )
So , mayhap 2009 will be the year of Android after all . Maybe . [ NYT ]
