More Google phone makers sign up

THE OPEN HANDSET ALLIANCE has claimed that 14 more technology firms have joined its glorious army marching behind the Gphone banner.

British mobile outfit Vodaphone, Toshiba and Sony Ericsson were all among the assembled throngs.

Vodafone Group chief marketing officer Frank Rovekamp said in a press release that the move was a logical next step in his company's mobile Internet journey.

He said that working with emerging terminal platforms for smart phones was critical for Vodafone to deliver unbeatable customer experiences and accelerate time to market for innovative products and services.

We guess he means that it is free software with an army of developers supporting it for nothing.

All the signed up companies have promised to make Android-based mobiles, lend programming expertise to the Android source code project, and offer products or services for the handheld devices.

A Sony Ericsson spokesman said that it was a strong supporter of open operating systems.
