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.

    Could this possibly lead to my dream mobile phone? Could it? With the Android platform being open-source, I think it is just possible.

    Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
