When Android first debuted on the HTC Dream (also known as the G1) back in October of 2008, it was deemed an “iPhone Killer.” While it didn't quite slay Apple's handset, it was the first step in a revolution against the tyrannous iPhone.
Tech Buzz T-Mobile announces the God/Jesus/Holy Ghost/Buddha phone: The G1. $179, available on October 22. Features gChat, Google Maps, customizable home screen, blah blah blah. And iPhone holdouts who’ve been waiting for a slide-out keyboard can now feel like they’re market niche is being paid attention to.
Tech Buzz T-Mobile has officially announced that the first phone running Google’s Android mobile operating system, the HTC Dream, will be unveiled in late September and in late October. It ain’t as purdy as the iPhone, but it sure does have a nifty keyboard.
Grainy shots of what might be the HTC Dream, or G1, the iPhone killer that’s a Google/Sidekick mash-up. Those of you who’ve been hoping the iPhone will finally release a version with a physical keyboard, your patience may have paid off — as long as you’re willing to keep waiting until September (if you’re a T-Mobile customer) or December (at the latest). The heavy breathing here is creepy.
