In Canada we have several Android-powered devices to choose from. To name a few the growing list: Hero, Liquid E, Milestone, Dext, Galaxy, Galaxy Spica, Legend, Dream, Magic+, Backflip, X10, Eve, Quench. Many of them alone have launched over the past couple months… and more to come (Desire, Galaxy S, Xperia X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro etc.). Even Rogers President Rob Bruce said we should “Stay tuned” as they have “lots of Android” products planned from HTC and Motorola.

Where does your Android fit in?
