First android phone will be showcased next week
The new mobile phone operating system Google Android will get its first outing next week. Reports say that the new Android OS will be showcased at a press conference in New York on September the 23rd.
It is widely believed that the first phone to run Google Android will be manufactured by Smartphone maker HTC and feature a touchscreen display and slide out QWERTY keyboard. The showcase will be in collaboration with T-Mobile, who will be the first network operator to offer the device.
Google Android is set to take on the likes of Windows Mobile, Apple and Symbian as a mobile phone operating system. The Android OS is also open-source, meaning that anyone can write applications for it.
Google is hoping that the Android system will encourage people to browse the internet more often from their mobile phone. The rumoured HTC Dream device will rival the iPhone, which is currently Google’s biggest source of mobile traffic.
