VentureBeat: Android phone is approved by FCC, Nov. 10 is the apparent release date

    I recall some talk months ago about one aspect of the android may be phone services paid for or subsidized by ads (e.g., users agree to receive and review ads in exchange for services). Any updates on that aspect of the business model?

    We don't know anything about that aspect of the business model, John.

    Google is leaving all PR announcements to the OHA members, I understand. My assumption is that we will not hear direct statements from Google on Android before the phone is launched, unless they are on the SDK.

    FYI there are 2 HTC Dream forums set up already:

    One is at http://androidforums.com as a subforum
    The other is at http://mobileroar.com/forum/htc-dream

    I'm sure there will be bugs - but I'm looking forward to an "open" phone.

    Everyone has been talking about Android for so long that they may be setting their hopes too high. Let's see what happens when the phone comes out and what people say then.

    My expectation is that this will change the handset business entirely.

    Personally, I'm not setting my hopes too high. I just want a phone that has capabilities similar to the iPhone but isn't the iPhone.

    FCC approval is necessary for any mobile service to be launhed in US and it is good for G1. G1 is becoming more popular due to android. Due to its popularity Tmobile G1 accessories are in more demand. After all this FCC certification does matter any mobile service. And finally HTC got it.

    Nice place, thank you! I bought a pair of <a

    as my

    honestly didn't know other <a

    boot
    labels were genuine. I was happy with the

    price and the quality was fine, I compared them with my

    older <a

    href="http://www.buddyugg.com/">uggs,

    the stitching and suede is pretty much the same if not

    better. As you've no doubt heard already they are extremely

    warm, which I was expecting. I sometimes wear mine with top

    cuff rolled over to reveal the inner fluff, I wasn't sure if

    could be done by looking at these pictures but it can be

    done. I'll wear these almost every day and so I'll most

    likely be back for more come Christmas. <a
