"we're not going to see any Android devices for another year, after all." Not necessarily. They said the second half of 08, so it's possible we could get a couple devices squeezed in around Q3. Maybe not likely, but certainly possible.
And also, they've already said they have a kernel for the processor that is used in many current HTC devices, like the tilt and others, so they will probably have it available for current hardware much sooner than new hardware comes out. Even if they don't release the kernel, some HTC phones have already been hacked to run Linux, and according to some threads at XDA-Developers, it's only a matter of time before they actually get android (the bits that are already available) running off of the currently available Linux kernels. -Taylor
