Android is more than just a cell phone.

Blog after blog, forum after forum and breaking news after breaking news I've come to realize that Android TRULY is a phenomenon. To an average guy or gal it's another cell phone OS (operating system) or not even that, they may even think it's another Smartphone which it really isn't.

Android can just about be on any cell phone manufacturer that’s part of the Open Handset Alliance (i.e. Acer, Asus, Garmin, HTC, Huwaei, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba) which means, it can also be on any wireless telecom company in the world and not tied or be exclusive to only one.

Android can be a netbook, if you feel lugging around your laptop to the couch is quite strenuous or bringing it to a nearby coffee shop for some good coffee and web surfing is to much. You can have something similar but be half the size and cost of a conventional laptop! Seriously, who really brings their laptop to a coffee shop and actually get some work done? Let's be honest, we take our laptop to do some good old web surfing or go on social networking sites to read up the status of our friends or read about some fresh gossip.

Android can also be a remote control or a central home control unit, which can control your home's lighting, heating and air, take inventory of your fridge and do some grocery shopping for you since it has access to the internet. It can let you know when the last time you vacuumed, its really up to you.

Android can also be in the next television set you purchase. Folks in Japan are now looking or heavily betting on Google CE with Android extensions, under the digital TV extension, for instance, the group is developing a set of APIs that will allow Android-based systems to receive digital TV broadcasts, display EPG and a BML (Broadcast Markup Language) browser and program recording.

Has anyone else wondered how they came up with the name Android? Well, a couple of weeks back I told my beautiful wife that it all make sense now. It's because Android, with all the other projects that they are a part of, is much more than just a cell phone it's BIGGER.
