AT&T Mobility CEO, Ralph de La Vega, had the time to speak with the Web 2.0 Summit today about the iPhone 3G broadband limits. The talks mostly consisted of U-Verse and data limits that followed, but for some reason he slipped a bit of Android information in among all of the iPhone talk.

It looks like AT&T’s position has not changed, an AT&T representative has stated, “We continue to evaluate the android platform, and if customers want it, we will offer it.” AT&T seems to likes the Android platform, but wishes to let it open up and evolve a little bit before taking on an Android-powered handset of their own. “De la Vega said AT&T continues to look at Google’s Android operating system but is not prepared to make any moves to carry any Android phones. He said the platform is still evolving and needs to open up even more to offer a wider array of non-Google applications.” Looks like AT&T is one of the few companies not using the opportunity to put Google’s Android OS. Who (other than myself) would like to see Android on AT&T next?

It will also give Android a nice boost to see AT&T offer a phone with Android given that they have a huge 3g footprint so it will like more tempting in the consumers eyes. I just hope they are like T-Mobile and dont place restrictions on either the phone or the applications that can be run on their network.
i wondr wht android will offer whn at&t lets em in . :]
I mean.. don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the Android platform open up so that it's as open as maemo, but to sell an iPhone and say Android isnt yet open enough... they have got to have their head on backwards.
P.s I agree with all the above comments.
But it is definitely good to see the interest growing, no matter what happens.
