T-Mobile Googlephone to land 'within weeks'
World's first Android phone imminent
11th September 2008 09:39 GMT
The first handset to run Google’s Android platform will arrive much earlier than anticipated, it has been claimed.
“People familiar with the matter” have told (http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSWEA895920080910?feedType=nl&feedName=ustechnology) the Reuters news agency that T-Mobile will start selling the Googlephone on 23 September - less than two weeks from today.
The unnamed sources even disclosed where the anticipated announcement will be made. “T-Mobile and Google will be making an announcement this month in New York City,” one of the informants alleged.
A report by the New York Times recently predicted (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/15/technology/15google.html?_r=3&ref=technology&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin) that the Googlephone would go live in October.
Version 0.9 of the Android OS platform is already available to download.
