The much-hyped (ripe for disappointment) Android operating system from Google is set to release on a new T-Mobile phone developed by HTC on September 23rd. The overwhelming popularity of the iPhone and the 3rd party applications from their iTunes App Store has led Google to follow a similar path in allowing developers to create mobile applications that they will offer through a similar Android Market.
Google specifically decided to call it a ‘Market’ as opposed to a store, since they will not be restricting developers in their content, nor will they take the 30% cut that Apple takes for all the applications offered on their App Store site.
