DexterGoogle Android powered phone to be unveiled Sept 23
September 17th 2008 07:15
The first mobile / cellphone powered by search giants Google's Android software system is due to be unveiled at a news conference on September 23 by US mobile carrier T-Mobile. A phone made by Taiwanese firm HTC will be powered by the Android software which Google says will make it much easier and appealing to surf the internet with.
It is expected that a handful of T-Mobile and Google execs will be on hand to showcase the new smartphone for reporters, analysts and some lucky tech bloggers invited to the New York event where the highlight will undoubtedly be the hands-on time with the smartphone that is more internet-friendly than any other.
While T-Mobile is yet to confirm a price for the Google-powered phone, a release date for October has already been hotly tipped on cyberspace with the carrier expected to subsidise part of the phone's cost for buyers who agree to subscribe to the carrier's mobile service - much like the Apple iPhone over in the US.
It seems Google can do no wrong at the moment and everything they touch seems to turn into gold - well, at least for heavily marketed products such as the Android - so one would expect this upcoming smartphone will be the first of many to run on the Android system.
