T-Mobile Readies its Successor to the G1 Android Phone

Recently, we've covered some of the momentum that the Android operating system is gaining. Motorola and several other handset manufacturers have Android phones coming, Android is heading for the hot netbook hardware category, and more. Now, as JKOnTheRun reports, T-Mobile is getting set to release its follow-on Android phone to the original T-Mobile G1. The myTouch 3G does not have a physical keyboard, as the G1 does, and is thinner and lighter as a result. It runs Android 1.5, which has an onscreen keyboard. It's to sell for $199.99 with a two-year contract. Check out more details at JKOnTheRun.?


The Android Momentum Continues

In recent weeks, the Android operating system has seen tremendous, encouraging? momentum. After the Mobile World Congress show took place earlier this year, with very little Android news of any kind there, some speculated that the open source operating system might be an outright failure.? Now, though, there are signs of interest in Android from the number two personal computer manufacturer in the world, new forks of the operating system arriving, and lots of new Android smartphones on deck. 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's Android Smartphones Are for Real: News and Photos Arriving

Recently, we covered Motorola's confirmation that it will deliver several smartphones based on the open source Android operating system later this year. That's good news, because applications have been proliferating for Android--with more than 3,000 available--and Android now has 6 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, even though it has largely been restricted to one handset: the T-Mobile G1 phone. Now, news about and photos of the upcoming Motorola Android phones are making the rounds online. Here are the details.


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?


Android Phone Owners Getting Upgrades to Cupcake

As JKOnTheRun reports, owners of the T-Mobile G1 Android phones are starting today to get over-the-air upgrades to Cupcake, the new version of Android that we covered here. Users in the U.K. and the U.S. are already getting the new firmware, according to Phandroid. We discussed the fact that the new version has a software keyboard, but some of the other features include YouTube video uploads, stereo Bluetooth support, Picasa photo uploads, and video recording.

Report: Android Now Has 6 Percent of the U.S. Smartphone Market

In spite of rumblings that the Android operating system isn't spreading out to more handsets, consider this finding from researchers at AdMob: The Android OS now has 6 percent of the U.S. smartphone market and is tied with Palm as the fourth-largest OS. AdMob's latest research on the smartphone market also found that growth in requests [to AdMob's network] from devices running the Android and iPhone operating systems continued to outpace other platforms in March, despite the relatively limited number of devices in market. The growth in requests from devices is largely being driven by very healthy growth in usage of the app stores for both Android and the iPhone. Here are some of the other key points from AdMob's report.



Data and Thoughts on How the Android-Based G1 Phone is Faring

GigaOm has an interesting item up on the keynote speech that Robert Dotson, chief executive of T-Mobile USA, gave this week at CTIA in Las Vegas. An estimated 1.5 million G1 Android-based smartphones have been ordered, and Dotson provided a lot of notable statistics about the usage patterns people are showing for the phone and Android. I've been using the G1, and my usage lines up with some of Dotson's stats.


T-Mobile Bringing the Android G1 Phone to Five EU Areas

T-Mobile is bringing the Android-based G1 phone to five territories in the European Union, reports JKOntheRun, and there may be subsidies offered. Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands and Poland are reportedly on tap, with a deal in Germany that will get users a G1 phone for only one Euro if they agree to a two-year service contract. Check out JKOnTheRun's thoughts on whether subsidies for these open source phones are a good thing.
