Last week or so, it was Gameboy emulator on andriod, now its a Debian, a linux operating system. Jay Freeman has written a post on how to install it on your gphone http://www.saurik.com/id/10. And btw i had saw a g1 here on Hong Kong for 570USD, and i still have no plans to buy it since its too expensive.

Why China? Have you guys seen any phones from china that looks exactly like the real phone except the ugly interface? I personally believe that would change because of android. Why? Here are some of my reason.

* Operating System - These small mobile company made their own mobile os simply because they could not use Symbian or Windows Mobile os or Apple due to the license stuff, dont know about Symbian now that they are open source. So it would be wise for these company to stop making their own and just use something that is already build then just remodify some part of it.

* Cost - Making your own mobile os with all the programmers that you will hire to do all the stuff that will make your mobile work is way too expensive for these company compare to using something that is already build. Not just they have to pay for their people to do the software, they also have to pay over the maintenance of it, translation of the manual and some technical support to their client???

* Revenue - Over the 3rd world countries, mobiles from China are hot, why? Not just because their cheap but because of the features but some people especially the one who can afford to buy 2nd class phones would not buy them, why? Not because they think its cheap but because they hate their first experience they had with these phones because of the interface. So using android would make them more richer.

* Innovation - This is purely my imagination, but i forecast that the Chinese people will not just make android on smart phone but on different gadget as well, like PMP, PDA, and Laptop computer (they might port it, these people are freakin awesome and insane)

I believe that smart phone will be huge and China will pay a major role on it. But what’s with Google on this? The more android phones they got, the more people will have use their services, the better standing they will get not just in China but over the globe. So its better for everyone after all.

Everyone is asking what are the business model for google android? Here are some of the possibility that i could think of. (This is only my opinion)
