Android, photoshopped…


Ok, I know I know we’re putting Android stuff up all over the blog. I PROMISE non-android stuff is coming, we have a couple of exciting announcements coming up in the next week or so! For the moment however, I wanted to post this up because Jimbo831, one of our super forum members (and newest moderator!!!) took hours out of his time creating the best photoshopped look of Android to date. Here is Jimbo describing his approach:

“I was bored having several days in a row off work and decided to start a new project in Photoshop.  I’ve been so excited about the G1 coming soon and can’t stop wondering what it will look like, what features it will have, and just everything about it.  Because of this, I decided to do some calculations based on the reference sketches released by AndroidGuys the other day.  I used the overall phone size of 115mm x 55mm and the 3 measurements shown near the logos on the back of the phone to calculate the remaining measurements of the phone.  It may vary slightly due to calculations made, but if the sketches released are to scale, this will be a fairly accurate measurement of the device overall…”

There is alot more to read on what he did and how he got those measurements, so you should be clicking here.

Seriously, now is the time to head over to the forums and give Jimbo some massive Karma. Seriously, go now.

P.S. Remember we still have much love for you non-android fans, its unfortunate that this is dominating the news lately but for those that simply aren’t interested, stay tuned, we’re just getting started this week.
