Google: 18 Android phones coming this year, possibly more
18 Android phones, possibly 20 on the market this year according to Andy Rubin , speaking at Google I/O. Even higher if you count all the rogue, Google App-free Android deployments that Google’s not aware of. Seeing as how we’re already nearly half-way through the year with just a pair of Android handsets on the market (the T-Mobile G1, HTC Magic) and just another — the Samsung i7500 Galaxy — officially in the chute, we’re going to see a flood of product before year’s end. In fact, Rubin claims the releases will come from 8 or 9 manufacturers with faster adoption seen in Europe as US carriers try to “create highly distinctive versions of the Android phone to give themselves an edge.” Sure, edge , if that’s what you want to call the US cartel of hoops and handcuffs then go right ahead.
