The T-Mobile G1, the first mobile device powered by Google’s open-source Android software, will be available in stores in the United States on October 22 and will cost 179 dollars.
The G1, which is a bit thicker but slightly narrower than an iPhone,
will go on sale in Britain in early November and in other European
countries served by T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Germany’s Deutsche Telekom AG, in early 2009.
The G1 offers many of the features of the iPhone and Research in Motion’s
popular BlackBerry including a touch screen similar to that of the
iPhone, a trackball for navigation, high-speed Internet browsing,
Wi-Fi, e-mail, instant messaging and SMS texting.
It has a 3.0-megapixel camera with photo-sharing capability and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a feature lacking on the iPhone.
Internet retail giant Amazon.com announced shortly before the G1 release, in a direct challenge to Apple’s iTunes, that the entire catalog of the Amazon MP3 music store would be available on the new phone.
The new phone has, unsurprisingly, been closely integrated with Google applications such as Google Maps and G-Mail and can display videos from YouTube, the video-sharing site purchased by Google in 2006.
