Top 15 Android Phones Available Now
When the first quarter reports for mobile handsets came in this year, the numbers showed that Android had surpassed Apple's OSX as the no. 2 mobile operating system for smartphones (RIMM/Blackberry took the no. 1 spot). This was a pretty big deal for the 2-year-old Android, and we're sure it messed up Steve Jobs's day pretty good. When the smoke cleared, a lot of techies were still impressed, but the world took it with a grain of salt: there is really only one iPhone, but there are walls full of Android-powered devices.
Picking the iPhone you want is a price game, but when it comes to Android, the options are daunting. We took time to go through the racks and find the Top 15 Android Phones on the Market Right Now. Click on for our thoughts on the HTC Evo 4G, Google Nexus One, HTC Hero, HTC Droid Incredible, LG Ally, the prepay Motorola i1 and others.
