Here is one of the first live photos of Google's Android OS in action.

Gizmodo, the source of the photo says that despite the system is still a prototype, it runs light and fast, and that the programming is overall better than Windows Mobile 5.

We'll be able to test the complete version once the first Android-based handsets appear.

According to Lowell McAdam, Verizon Wireless CEO, the company will support and use Google's new Android mobile platform.

If you recall, last week Verizon announced that it will allow any application, any device to access its network, so the use of Android just proves the intentions.

While the upcoming Android OS is yet to see the light of day in the first half of 2008, Google decided to release the Android SDK to give software developers some time to experiment and to create something worthwhile before the official launch.

The kit is cross-platform compatible and gives developers full access to the system's features and functions.

Google has released a video clip where they demonstrate some of the main capabilities of the upcoming Android OS. Check it out!

Right after Google has announced its Android OS and the upcoming GPhone there appeared images of the possible look of the company's future handset.

The first Android OS demo unit is called Google Dream, and as you can see on the picture it looks very similar to the old HTC Omni.
