Anthony is still testing Apple's much-hyped iPhone, and although it's drawn a few admiring glances from around the office I'm not entirely convinced - although the swishy interface is undeniably impressive, I'm not willing to sacrifice 3G networking and the ability to install custom applications (as I can on my poor, much abused E61). Let alone for almost £270 plus an 18-month contract.

On the other hand, the latest news from Google has me very much interested. This video shows the prototype interface for, and applications running on, Google's Android software stack for mobile phones. If not quite up to the level of the iPhone it's certainly more appealing than Symbian Series 60 interface, and with a freely available SDK it should attract plenty of third-party software developers. Whether it emerges as a serious challenger to S60 and Apple is, of course, anyone's guess for the moment - but if any  technology company can take on the black turtle-neck wearing upstarts from Cupertino, it's probably the huge, rich devotees of "don't be evil" from Mountain View.
