Android: What's going on with it?

My contract is up for my cell provider and was looking to the competition for what's new.
Blackberry's are everywhere.
The G1 has sold over a 1,000,000 phones with the Android OS.
Since it has a somewhat of a Linux kernel, how does it fair?

Things I've found about Android:

• IPTables doesn't work, libc parts not available on Android
• Snort same as above
• NMAP works with some dependencies
• ClamAV works but 28mb size with only 21mb system image available
• Busybox works
• Bash works
• OpenSSH can be executed but not fully functional
• strace works
• chkrootkit works with minor dependencies
• Application space is limited to 40mb
• A new type of intrusion/malware detection can be developed.
  • Static Function Call Approach
  • Simple decision tree can achieve 95% detection rate

Is anyone using Android to do pentests?

Wifiscan, connectbot-an SSH client, portscandroid-a port scanning tool, and androidVNC- fork of tightVNC

Also Google phone 2 is near, slated for August release. It's called the My Touch 3G, part of the htc touch line.
