The first Motorola Android device picked up on our device detection system today. This is interesting because the device is not officially available yet, but perhaps more importantly because it is proof that the much discussed wave of new Android devices is actually happening.

I still use my G1 on a daily basis and am very pleased with it. Despite all the rude remarks about its design and hardware it has resisted several long drops onto hard surfaces, significant use of the hinge, and being rattled around in bags and pockets without significant marking.  The touch screen is still responsive and accurate.

More importantly, I still ove the interface. I recently added the Facebook widget, and while not a particular fan of Facebook, the widget is very impressive. I also like the gratuitous use of the accelerometer to refresh the app. More work like this will really distinguish Android from the iPhone with its depressingly static user interface.
