Love it or hate it. It looks like all the big boys in the cell phone handsets market is contemplating on introducing a new handset based on the Android

Joining the list today is Kyocera, with an announcement that they are working with software optimization house Wind River to adapt Android to their needs.

According to today’s announcement, Wind River’s job is “to provide software systems integration services, including middleware and user interface integration, optimization of Android, and custom integration for technologies from other Open Handset Alliance members and third-party developers.”

Kyocera’s not exactly known for wallet-destroying handsets, so it’d be surprising to see any devices come out of their labs with specs rivaling that of the G1 - we probably won’t see a touchscreen, at least. If nothing else, this solidifies the idea that we’ll be seeing CDMA Android handsets in the low-mid range market before too long.
