One of the first companies to actually show Android running, Qualcomm, is expecting to ship phones over the next 12-18 months. Sayeed Choudhury, a product manager for systems software, says that Android phones will have features similar to that of the Apple iPhone only at prices closer to mass market feature phones and with better better links to internet services. What kind of services? Photos and video stuff like Flickr and YouTube is our guess.

"Google has really thought through what Apple has just begun to unlock." - Choudhury.

Qualcomm is also on board with the LiMo Foundation. How does Android compare? Apparently, it's not quite as good yet. Surprising news as they have a one year head start on Google and friends.

"It's still early days for the LiMo platform but we believe it will get there. Having two flavors of Linux is better than the dozens of proprietary environments we have seen to date.
