Even IF you live in a cave in the middle of the desert, you have probably still heard of the iPhone. This device is becoming ubiquitous and is certainly cool. They are sleek and shiny and work well.

There are some serious competitors that are bringing some devices to market that should create more competition in this space.  For your viewing pleasure, dear readers, we present some screen shots of the HTC Dream and the Blackberry Thunder.

The HTC Dream is intriguing because it runs on Google’s Android operating system. Who cares? Developers. Android is open and should encourage lots of innovative development with it. Expect to see many new applications for Android-based phones.

Blackberry–well, RIM to be exact, does not want to be left out of the Great Touch Screen Wars of 2008. They are also experts at creating significant hype around devices. The Blackberry Thunder  Storm marks RIM’s first entry into the touch screen space, and looks like it could be a significant challenger.
