Google’s latest Android prototype is kicking iPhone's apps

Google’s latest Android prototype is miles improved over the versions we last saw. Back at CES the GUI was clunky and the whole thing looked relatively primative; Google themselves asked us to keep an open mind and instead concentrate on the OS’ potential. Now, they’ve brought out a device that you could, frankly, mistake for production hardware.

Android running pac-man!


As our exclusive demo videos show, the Android team have been putting in some long hours bringing the user interface up to the standard people expect. The iPhone sets the bar high, and leftfield rivals like Samsung’s TouchWiz GUI really pile on the pressure. What they’ve given us is, at first glance, a blend of the successful parts of each of those, together with a dose of Google’s own minimalist aesthetic. Hopefully you’ll agree with us, once you’ve looked through the photos and watched the video, that the design is a winner.

Google's Android will put the iPhone in the back seat....

I'm sold just on the arcade-quality Pac-Man app...

Yes I totally agree Jordan.  Even more intriguing are those pictures of the Google maps 'street view' which in my opinion is going to be HUGE.  Having Google maps 'street view'  on your mobile device will change the way we use technology again.

nukemdomis, I like this story. The map feature looks great.  I might use it if no one was looking.
