Google is developing Android, an open source operating system for mobile phones, which is directly competitive with Apple's iPhone.

Wednesday, at Google's I/O Event , the company demonstrated their Android prototype phone, a device which has been greatly improved since its last public outing at this year's CES and Mobile World conferences.

Like all the other geeks in attendance, I couldn't help myself from letting out an audible “whooo” when Google showed off an Android phone demo Wednesday that linked Street View to a compass (see video below).

The...

The near-mythical HTC Dream handset has been rumored for longer than we can remember, and we can't wait to get our hands on the device that was once thought to be the Google Phone (gPhone). Alas, we'll have to wait until Google and HTC can work out the niggling details on the Android OS that [...]

Filed under: Rumors , iPhone MacRumors hears news of some interesting new features that may see the light of day in the next iteration of iPhone firmware. The Maps application will apparently have support for Google Street View.

We’re still waiting for the full details from Vincent at the Google IO Keynote , but we wanted to share these first live photos and video of the latest touchscreen Android prototype.
