Ive been hoping and praying that the things like the icons shown in Android are just beta ones. They have that "ages 6-60" feel that some companies try to foster. What usually happens when your aesthetics try to appeal to everyone is that they appeal to no one.
Anyone else have any inkling what "devices" are being offered besides the Dream?
You would have to think that an almost free phone would be in the works. Google can only make money if they have a large user base, and nothing gets the attention more than free or almost free.
I agree. Google seems to think that the super simple (read: unpolished) designs ideas that worked for google and gmail will translate to a cell phone. I want to see that polish, not because I like eye candy, but eye-candy implemented right can enhance productivity.
