No More Android Updates for the G1 Phone?

As JKOnTheRun reports, Android engineers have tweeted that T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) phones may not be able to handle any OS updates going forward. It seems that the early G1 model has limited system memory and the current version 1.5 (aka Cupcake) update totally filled it up. There are also reports coming out of Asia (HTC is a Taiwan company) that the HTC Magic, dubbed the MyTouch 3G, will be receiving the innovative ?Sense? UI update only in Europe, but that T-Mobile models in the U.S. won?t get it. Check out more here.


The Android Momentum Continues

In recent weeks, the Android operating system has seen tremendous, encouraging? momentum.

GigaOm has a summary of the past week's important Android headlines, including the possibility of a new Android tablet device, and we've been on the Android watch as well.?



Motorola Confirms Several Android Smartphones Coming Later This Year

We've reported before on Motorola's interest in delivering phones based on the Android operating system. In October, the company was planning to deliver a new Android phone by the second quarter of this year, a deadline it apparently won't make. However, as InfoWorld reports, Motorola is aiming to deliver several Android-based smartphones in time for the holiday season. The company will launch the phones with multiple carriers in several areas around the world, according to chief of Motorola's mobile device division. Isn't it time for Motorola to pick a smartphone platform to concentrate on, though?
