android is here today…
by Chiyin on Sep 23rd, 2008 @ 10:38 amToday T-Mobile is releasing the first Android device… The highly anticipated phone running on Google’s mobile OS that is to go head to head with the iPhone… The folks over at Engadget are at the event and they already have checked out a demo phone, pictures here… As the event progresses we will have more information about the device and services… Right now this is what we know about the G1
- 3G support (of course)
- GPS
- 3.1 megapixel camera
- Support up to 8 GB of memory
- Requires Gmail account to sign in and use… hmmm
- and most intersting of all… Apparently T-Mobile will not sell the phone outside of a 2.5 miles radius of their 3G network coverage area
Stay tuned for more updates…
Update:
- Music store is similar to iTunes but links back to Amazon.com
- Gmaps features Street View with Compass mode where the scene changes as you move… Very nice
- Apps will be distributed through the Android Market… I’m sure more info will be available later
- Price… $179… Can be ordered through the internet for existing customers and will be available in stores October 22nd
- 2 data/messaging plans… $25 for unlimited data and some text or $35 for unlimited data and text
