Google's Android mobile phone operating system has reached the point in its life where it's available on a handset from each of the four major carriers. AT&T recently entered the Android landscape with the Motorola Backflip, coupled with Google itself releasing an AT&T version of its Nexus One.
Unlike Apple, which has sold a single phone through a single carrier, Google's approach to distributing Android has taken a page out of the Microsoft playbook and is getting the operating system on as many devices as possible. Unlike Microsoft, Google actually is giving its OS to handset manufacturers and, in some cases, paying them to use it. You can get an Android phone from Google itself, HTC, Motorola or even Dell.
