I am pretty sure Android took closer to 5 years to develop but I could be wrong. Internet connection is buggy here so I cant bring up Wikipedia. The new HTC Android device has a very slick user interface. There are already builds of the ROM ported over to the G1 with the new graphical changes.

Don't worry, I'm not. The 1 million mark is only in the US. Sales figures for the UK and other parts of the world have not been announced yet.
