Google Android 3D and UI
Google's 3D accelerated android looks amazing, (you will need an FLV downloader etc to watch the videos as they are in Adobe Flash format). I love the browser history pages viewed as 3D, maps with street panoramas, and the ability to run games like quake! I'd like to see how they did the panoramas in code, seems to all run in Java from the look of it. There are so many nice touches, like integrated messaging, and the way the title bar is a notification area for incoming messages.
Interesting they chose WebKit instead of Mozilla's Gekko HTML rendering engine too. When you notice who compiled the OpenVG spec at Khronos things all start to make sense... ;)
Perhaps this is what the iPhone should have been? Another missed opportunity for Apple!
