AFAIK, the G2 is the only Android phone planned as of this time for 2009. I could be wrong, I suppose, but all I've heard of is an HTC phone for T-Mobile.

Also saying the G1 had little impact whereby I agree its first generation thus having kinks, it still blew away initial forecasts of selling several 100,000 units to selling a million. Also other manufacturers like ASUS, Sony, & Garmin are jumping onboard with Android along with HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and others so there will be a plethora of Android phones out in 2009. This is really going to grow out the mobile social media space which will be next step beyond Facebook.

Because as far as I know, there's quite a few Android handsets coming in Q1 and Q2 next year. Aaron, just want to clarify what you mean with Android – you’re just talking about the US?

I think on the the Social Media/Online Advertising prediction, companies are going to look more for revenue opportunities than just eyeballs. It may be through generating apps like IFart but relevant to their brand or running campaigns that have a commerce opportunity associated with them. I think that tech companies and startups that allow large companies to run authentic social media and online marketing campaigns in 2009 are going to do really well. Good stuff.
