Unless you were hiding under a rock yesterday, you'd have heard the
news that
Android,
Google's new mobile operating system finally has a home. The first device to sport this is the G1, and
HTC device that T-mobile will be making available to punters on a choice of two tarrifs. The device looks
cool, though there are still
some niggles that I'm sure will be resolved pretty
sharpish. It’s got GPS, WiFi, a touchscreen, an accelerometer, a camera, Gmail, Google Maps, a Webkit-based browser an App market and a keyboard. What more could you want on a phone?
It should be available in the US and UK by the "
end of the year", but this particular offering will be locked to T-mobile (until someone writes an unlock for it). However, the OS is
open source, so it won't be long before a whole host of other mobile phones could be running it. Expect a number of gadget sites to be publishing instructions on how to install it on
unlocked cell phones with the right specification as it becomes more and more commonplace.
I'm still on my
Windows Mobile XDA here. It does the trick but I'd love to get my mitts on
one of these.
