Open Handset Alliance
Google is leading a pack of 30+ companies who have formed the Open Handset Alliance, with the intention of unifying the vast array of mindless mobile phone platforms out there. The plan is to bring together a stack of basic apps that will be available as a free mobile phone operating system called Android, allowing much easier development of software for the platform. For the user that will hopefully mean we get a way better experience, and the capability of phones sees a big improvement.
