With all the hype and anticipation leading up to the release of the first ever Android phone, it shouldn’t be surprising if other manufacturers want to cash in on the OS on the block.

Both Samsung and LG have expressed plans of releasing one, but unfortunately, from what we also hear, we’ll have to wait until the 3rd quarter of 2009 for it to appear, and that’s the earliest estimate. That’s a mighty long wait, and personally, with all the competition in the market these days, if there’s no other new Android-based phone released between now and then, all the interest with the Android OS will probably end with a natural death.

Anyway, I have high hopes that HTC will most likely release another Android phone since they have the inside track on the hardware. Let’s just hope and pray that the others don’t falter that far behind.
