Not-so-paranoid Android

Sorry, folks. The much-fabled gPhone won't be in your Christmas stocking this year. Or probably even next year. (Damn sensationalist Marketing News blog...) On Monday, Google announced Android, the company's new open-source platform for smartphone application developers.

They also, along with 33 other mobile companies, announced the formation of a new venture, the Open Handset Alliance, an organization whose goal is to encourage, essentially, open sourcing of mobile code. The OHA includes mobile and tech behemoths like Sprint, T-Mobile, Intel, LG, Samsung and Motorola. (You'll notice mobile notables AT&T Wireless and Verizon are missing from the list.)

What they didn't announce was that Google stock topped $1,000 per share. Don't worry; that will happen soon enough.
