Android prototype spotted in the wild

Okay, so admittedly this isn't much of a "news" story, though I'm willing to bet that won't make it any less interesting: a mysterious programmer got his hands on a prototype device running Google's Android and managed to snap a photo which he sent to Gizmodo. Lo and behold, the prototype device looks almost exactly like the mock-up image provided with the SDK. Gizmodo's tipster also provided the blog with a few hands-on impressions, though they're fairly vague. "Even in early form, it's light and fast, much faster than the desktop emulator at times. And as a longtime programmer, he thinks it's a lot more put together than Window Mobile 5 on the back side of things."
