Sweet.. I've got 6 PCs now and finally I may get the "Air" laptop. Been watching Apple for years. Can't tell how long I've been waiting for something like Droid to come along. Convergence, they have been promising it for Years. An open OS that is not filled with pork.
I hope Microsoft is squealing.... (I don't wont no fights now).

Until your cell service brands and hobbles it. There are more versions of Android OS in use today than Apple has gone through in the Iphone's history; the cell company wants you to buy a new phone instead of letting you update to the newest version of Android. Cheaper droid models have hobbled or earlier OS versions; want all the newest functionality? Buy the more expensive droid. The droid still has the most potential of all the competitors, but a very nice thing about the Iphone is that Apple controls the phone, not the cell provider. AT&T agreed early on and got the phone. Verizon finally agreed and now the archaic CDMA technology has an Iphone, but it isn't exclusive to Verizon. Verizon doesn't control when and how much of an OS update you get when they come out, and all of Verizon's bloatware that locks in "preferred partners" is available in the App Store, not pre-installed and undeletable. Iphones outnumber all the various droids on AT&T by 16:1, but I hope that Apple's model gives Google a chance to take back control of the OS and the user experience.

You got that right. I feel like we get to use this OS for a while, while it works and then chunk it after full commercial development. I'm hoping we can learn to kill processes easily enough with the open source.
