It looks like things are on the upside for the Open Alliance and their Android OS.

Not only did the HTC Dream, the supposed flag-bearer of the Android, receive the seal of approval of the FCC; version 0.9 of the Android SDK is also now available which suggests that it probably won’t be long before we see version 1.0 released, not only to developers, but importantly, to the public as well. There’s more screen shots available at Engadget’s Android photo gallery, but if you want further analysis, Gizmodo has a blow-by-blow account of the video and what this new iteration brings to the table.

With these positive turn of events, the reported September release date might not be a far fetched idea after all. Aside from the steep prices of Globe, is this reason enough for you to forego purchasing an iPhone anytime soon?
