 Andy Rubin, Senior director for Mobile Platform for Google said, there are 18 phones confirmed by the end of this year and possibly up to 20.

 

There are three flavors of Android the phones can fall in,

 

  • Google free – Free to download, where google applications (Gmail or Google Calender) is not available. But the manufacturers can load as many free applications to it.
  • Strings attached – Same as Google free, but the manufacturers sign a distribution contract with Google and pre-install Google applications. (12-14 phones fall this category)
  • The Google Experience - There phones should have a Google logo on the phone. The phone will have all the Google apps installed with unrestricted access to Android market. (5-6 phones fall this category)

 

Still which phone to which category and to which carrier is not mentioned yet. Lets pick category and wait for the phones to come.
