Good job though judging from the screenshots!

From what I was reading, they want to push Android OS onto many other consumer devices, not just phones. Phones are just the start.
The iphone OS will always be limited to Apple products and jealously guarded by Jobs. Windows is a mess and a bit directionless by MS.
Android, being open source, can be adapted to all sorts of "smart" devices in need of a flexible, small, but powerful pre-built OS. The mythological smart fridge, but even bluray players, tvs, car entertainment systems ( MS has Sync, which is WinXP based.) I could even see it move into areas like automation, PLCs, instrumentation, etc etc, where there isn't a really big standard OS, and each company has to develop its own little OS to run the instrument, or cobble together an array of existing programs to try and make it work
That's the hope anyway.
