The first major update for Google's Android platform, based on the Cupcake development tree, was released today in source form at the project's git repository. Now it's up to the OEMs and carriers to deploy it, and the community to port it to other platforms. Dig in for a list of new features.

Here we are almost at the halfway mark of the year, and the only android device we have seen is the G1. I would LOVE to support and get on the Android bandwagon, but thats kinda hard with nothing to use. From the sounds of it, ATT has no plans to give us a NA gsm android phone anytime soon, so we are left to beg HTC for a device, or look for a Gclone coming out of china. Picking are reeally slim right now. I have been sitting for almost a year with 2 lines off-contract waiting for Android, and i'm getting kinda tired of waiting. I am probably going to end up just grabbing a Bold and looking the other way. Get with the program people and put out some devices!!!
Some new devices are due very soon.
From last check, Samsung, Sony Ericcson and Motorolla were all releasing Android handsets (though some of them may just be rebanded HTC devices).
There's also a number of smaller companies releasing Android handsets too.
Plus, if you're not afraid of getting your hands dirty, you could always load Android on your existing HTC device thanks to it's open source nature and a number of dedicated geeks who ported the software.
