The Delay of the Android

The Wall Street Journal reports today that Google’s plan to launch their Android-based handset has been delayed. Initially the company said that the handsets would be available during Q2 of this year, but now it looks like the launch has been pushed back until Q4. With that being said, carriers who had hoped to launch their Android-based handset this year are finding themselves looking into the future.

T-Mobile USA is expected to launch this year, while both the Sprint Nextel Corp. and China Mobile, who planned on delivering their Android phones this year as well, will have to sit tight until 2009 due to the amount of time T-Mobile is requiring.

Well, it looks like Google just may be human after all. Kind of makes your Monday a little better, doesn’t it?
