Well, I have had my first Android device for a few weeks now, a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1, and since then, I have only turned on my Nokia phones to retrieve some stored data, LOL. I am not Google, I am a person who uses mobile access for just about everything possible and available, and I think Android is amazing on the Galaxy S. I plan to buy the Galaxy Tab as soon as I can, which I heard was October 22nd from Samsung yesterday, at a price of around $760 USD, around the same price I paid for the Galaxy S.
The main problem I have at the moment is that I have "retired" all my XP machines and am still using OSX PPC on the desktop, so I don't have the right desktop platform to learn to develop some Android apps.
Funny, when I am on the subway, there are always people with many phones, generally over 1/2 are doing email or chatting on their mobiles. I have noticed that the iPhone users are quiet envious of my Galaxy S. The display is both bigger and brighter than iPhone.
That is cool, but more cool is that it is running a version of Linux called Android.
