Anyone else think this looks a lot like the iPhone? From the homescreen icons to the dock at the bottom to the left-right homescreen page scrolling. Still good stuff and they came up with a couple nice UI innovations like pulling down the status bar to get immediate access to call info from anywhere with a single swipe.

I also can't help thinking that the touch-UI looks miles better than the HTC's Touch 3D. True, the Touch 3D has impressive eye candy (like the weather app), but there was a very noticeable lag between gestures and their response in the HTC Diamond videos whereas in Google Android the screen seems to respond instantly to your swipes- like on the iPhone or in Minority Report.

I'm so glad Apple and then Google have come along to shake up the smartphone industry. I was getting pretty bored with what Palm, Microsoft, and RIM have been doing (or not doing) for the past 4 years.
