After saw the Andriod demo clip, i think Andriod mobile phone operating system will sure a perfect iPhone competitor which have a nice slick touches to the interface

Key features of Andriod demonstration clip had:

• Slide to unlock patterns – On the screen you’ll have 9 dots that you’ll be able to create a pattern with, and that pattern is what’s used to unlock your phone. Now, I don’t think this leaves any chances for accidentally unlocking the phone! And it will fun too, since we all love connecting dots, eh?
• Notifications – A slide down page contains all of your notifications (calendar events, new email, etc…). This all-in-one location is quite time-saving.
• Desktop – Yes, Android will feature a fully customizable desktop similar to Windows, where users will be able to create shortcuts for bookmarks, contacts etc and drag them to position where ever they want.
• Street View – The Android devices will include an optimized version of Google Street View that looks pretty sweet. You can use your finger to spin the map around, or enable the compass view feature that will rotate the 3D imagery according to the direction you’re facing.

Meanwhile, there are dozens of photos of the touchscreen Android prototype over at Android Community. You can check it out more about Andriod
