Google Phones to Premier Next Week?

Google Phones to Premier Next Week?
Rumor has it that next week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona the world will finally get to lay its eyes (and hopefully hands) on the first cell phones powered by the Google-backed Android operating system. Google itself has bought up a lot of floor space at the expo, and ARM, maker of the most popular processors in the mobile phone market, is expected to demo its own hardware running the Android platform.

Andoid handsets (also called gPhones) being shown off at the premier mobile phone expo comes as no shock, but it's still exciting. gPhones are supposed to start shipping in the second half of this year, but outside of some videos posted by Google developers, we've yet to see it running on any real hardware.

I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.

The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?

Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

So pissed at @thomashouston right now for not reminding me about James Blake last night.
