Google Unveils First Android Phone

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-you-hear-me-now dept.

danieltdp writes "Google finally officially launched the first Android-enabled mobile device to hit the market. As expected, the first Android phone will be the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1), a device with a large touchscreen and a slide-out physical keypad that will run Google's new mobile platform." You might also not be at all surprised to know that Google is working on an Android competitor to the Apple App store.

    Symbian is going to be open sourced soon so the being opein advantage is now nil. The API in Android is a piece of shit and the performance of the device is abysmal. Linux is not a good choice for a cell phone, plain and simple.
