Google releases paranoid Android phone

GOOGLE is set to release its phone software today which has been dubbed 'Android'.

The Linux based mobile platform will be followed by a developer kit and will mean that the search engine outfit will have elbowed its way into the phone industry.

Originally everyone thought the software would be called 'G-Phone' however it seems that Google has opted for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme instead. Now with Android on board, your phone can complain about a pain in all the diodes on its left hand side. It can also inform you that it is feeling very depressed and finds oceans unbearable.

Japanese wireless carriers KDDI and NTT DoCoMo are said to be heavily involved in the paranoid Android project under the umbrella of the Open Handset Alliance.

More than 30 other companies including Qualcomm, Broadcom, HTC, Intel, Samsung, Motorola, Sprint, and Texas Instruments are also involved.
