Is Google thinking to launch a mobile phone after the announce of Android ?

It's hard to answer but not hard to think that Google's plan is to launch its mobile device with the Android platform.

What is Android platform ?
ZDNET gives a great overview of Google Android:
the Android platform for mobile devices and the Open Handset Alliance on Monday in a move to break the lock existing carriers and phone makers have on the industry and make it as easy to use the web on mobile devices as it is on desktop computers.
With Android, Google can ensure current and future mobile-phone subscribers can see Google services, applications, and ads. Also, the announcement could pave the way for a Google-branded phone that would give the company a direct connection to consumers, even more than the ubiquitous search bar. And don't count out a Google phone just yet.

So Android could only get google's brand out there like Miner said.
Now I want to see the amazing things I can develop for mobile devices  with this new platform.

Google, consider that I used to develop with Flash Lite ;) Will Android give me more power and tools ?

Unfortunately in Italy AIR applications are not so populare and well accepted by enterprise companies (this is the market I work for) and I guees we'll have to wait more time in order to see the same penetration you're reporting in US http://www.brand-watch-supplier.com/omega-watch-c-33/

It's great Alessandro. Please make a lot of questions and blog them ;)))

@christian:Google can quit Flash Lite but it has to consider that the Flash video content on the web (plus flash video) is very very large. This is a factor to consider, don't you think ?
