One of Google Android's strengths relative to Apple's iPhone -- at least
from a market share and platform adoption perspective -- is that it's
quickly getting sprayed everywhere.

The latest: Four more Android smartphones from Samsung, which were just
announced for all four major U.S. wireless carriers. They're all part of
Samsung's new "Galaxy S" lineup of high-end phones.

None of these phones will likely sell as well individually as Apple's
new iPhone 4. But broadly, Android's ever-growing adoption by mobile
phone makers and mobile carriers could eventually push Google's market
share above Apple's for good.

Galaxy S platform
All three of these feature-packed smartphones from Samsung are based on
their Samsung Galaxy S design and I am quite sure they are going to be
hot sellers for each carrier. All three have these same base specs:
* Samsung 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor
* 4 inch Super AMOLED display 480�800 capacitive display
* Google Android 2.1 operating system
* 5 megapixel camera with HD video (720p) support
* Front facing camera with Qik video calling support
* 802.11 b/g/n WiFi
* Bluetooth 2.1 3.0
* 1500 mAh battery
* Six-axis sensor for improved gaming experience
* Swype text input keyboard
* Samsung Social Hub
* Samsung AllShare Application with DLNA support
* Dimensions: 4.9 inches 2.54 inches x 0.56 inches and 5.46 ounces

First Look: Samsung debuts its Galaxy S line of Android smartphones
<http://www.businessweek.com/idg/2010-06-30/first-look-samsung-debuts-its-galaxy-s-line-of-android-smartphones.html>

And the 4-in. 800-by-480-pixel screens are indeed impressive. Graphics
are sharp, fast and clear, even at extreme angles. If you have to watch
Avatar on a tiny screen, this is the screen to watch it on.

The phones are driven by Samsung's proprietary 1-GHz Hummingbird
processor, which includes an onboard graphics processor. That processor,
combined with the speed and quality of the screen, gives the impression
of great speed. And with the graphics prowess of the phone, it's not
surprising that Samsung is emphasizing the device's gaming,
entertainment and social media value over its enterprise chops.

That's gonna be a real trick if it only covers these.....

Maybe their definition of "major US carrier" is different from mine.

Mine includes VERIZON WIRELESS......not T-mobile.
