Will Android Dream?

The Google Android wheel is rolling, with an example of the device leaked online -- you can catch it below -- and it seems as though its coming with a slideaway keyboard and all of the usual HTC gubbins.

But why a keyboard?  Why not a touchscreeen device?  There’s a certain, growing amount of consternation among the Apple iPhone loyalists that other companies are nicking ideas off Apple rather than forging their own path.  One of these companies is Google -- but if they’re trying to steal a march on Apple or “buy in” to the amazing new trend for mobile UIs, why does the HTC Dream have a slideaway keyboard?

As we’ve already speculated, the only device that comes close to the iPhone 3G in capability and flexibility is the Samsung Omnia.

What will Google Android bring to the party?
