Never heed all of the hoopla circumambient Apple's iPhone: Today, Google's made some noise, too, in the develop of low-down snippets from handset makers. Take HTC, for example. The company's CEO, Peter Chou, was asked Tuesday to sustain a report in that this year. He replied that HTC will despatch "at least" three.
Bloggers have already gotten their hands on a leaked produce lineup from the assembly and take a chance that the HTC "Hero" will be another Android-based phone. And a effect lineup from Samsung was leaked in Amsterdam behind Wednesday--one showing an Android-based phone. Rumors suggest that the handset has a capacitive touch-screen flaunt and engaged Google integration. Two versions are expected: One for Europe and one for U.S. HSPA networks.
These tidbits are the key confirmations we've had of late enthusiasm in the Android arena since hindmost month's Mobile World Congress. At the Consumer Electronics show earlier this year, the only foreshadowing of the Android OS we dictum was on a , not a handset. With so many manufacturers joining the (Google's open-source task alliance) decisive year, it was pathetic that there wasn't more telecast about it. At the Mobile World Congress, Vodafone unleashed its.
Available in Europe this April, many observers dare say that this handset will be branded as the T-Mobile G2. The HTC Magic will pour the next origination of Android (code-named "Cupcake" and expected to come as an over-the-air update to Android in April); this understanding of Android should tot functionality such as cut/copy/paste and recuperate some discharge issues within the operating system. LG showed only Windows Mobile phones at MWC, but said that it plans to issue at least one Android-based phone by June, and two more later this year.
Smart-phone customers will certainly have number of options to decide from this beginning and summer. With Apple's iPhone 3.0 update launching in June, it is mellifluous predetermined that Apple will notice young hardware, too. It will be intriguing to watch how the amiable next-generation Android devices will accumulation up against the iPhone's third-generation ironmongery and software.
And don't disregard the Palm Pre--it's expected to organize a prodigious smudge on the smart-phone milieu in the April-to-June space edge as well.
