This is important - Android and the Open Handset Alliance

Most of the gushing coverage about Google’s open source mobile OS talks about short-term competitive positioning against entrenched mobile players: Microsoft, RIM, Nokia (Symbian), and new kid on the block Apple. But Android means so much more than that…in some early k-12 scenario work I’m getting into, we’re looking at OLPC and other technology in the pipeline now and over the next decade. An open mobile OS provides another platform for open access, and hybrid education, combining in classroom activities with distributed learning.

Given that the Sidekick / Hiptop is nForm’s favorite mobile experience to date, I’m pretty excited to see what’s in store.
