Android allows you to access core mobile device functionality through standard API calls.

Breaking down boundaries
Combine information from the web with data on the phone -- such as contacts or geographic location -- to create new user experiences.

Equal Icon
All applications are equal
Android does not differentiate between the phone's basic and third-party applications -- even the dialer or home screen can be replaced.

Fast & easy development
The SDK contains what you need to build and run Android applications, including a true device emulator and advanced debugging tools.

The new phones will definitely be in direct competition with the Apple iPhone and Windows Mobiles.

A lot faster then Internet Explorer Mobile and a lot easier to use, they have really concentrated on every detail to make the software really easy to use.

4. Fring

This handy little lightweight application is the best I've found for IM usage. The speed of the application is instant and it supports Skype (chat and calls) and kicks ass over the Skype Mobile application. The application supports the following services:-
1. Fring
2. Skype
3. MSN
4. Twitter
5. and more

5. Shozu

Nothing worse then having to copy your files to your notebook/computer after you've spent the day taking photos on your mobile. Shozu allows you to simply browse your photos/videos and select which files you want to upload to your account (Flickr, YouTube etc).
