A lot of people have been excitedly touting the new HTC Hero as an iPhone killer but I’m not convinced.It has an obvious advantage over the iPhone in that it’s going to be available in the UK from both Orange and T-Mobile, but although it’s not quite as ugly as the G1, it retains that dreadful ‘chin’ from the earlier model and still looks functional rather than stylish.
Admittedly I’m a bit behind with his post, but am I the only person who found the long awaited ‘cupcake’ update for Google’s Android OS pretty under whelming? It certainly delivered everything which was expected (mostly basic features which should have always been present in a smartphone) but the result, at least in my view, is still a pretty unimpressive OS which looks far too ugly and lacks any ‘must have’ features.
Users of T-Mobile UK’s G1 handset, powered by Google’s Android operating system, are set to receive the long-awaited ‘cupcake’ software update in May.
The new version of the software will finally bring a native onscreen keyboard, previously only available within 3rd party apps, and the ability to use the 3.2 megapixel camera to film videos and upload them straight to YouTube.
Three great things to help you get the most from your G1 phone, including a fantastic application which allows Mac users to sync their calendars and address books with their phone.
Users of Google’s Android Market should soon be freed from browsing crude or profane comments after the search giant confirmed plans to add the ability for consumers to report questionable comments.
Just after I commented on the T-Mobile G1/G2 speculation I realised one of my contracts was within the renewal window so decided I’d take a leap of faith and see what all the fuss over the G1 was about.
The web’s been busily discussing the prospect of a G2 phone from T-Mobile, rumoured for release next month. The consensus seems to be that it won’t happen because the iPhone wannabe G1 has only been out a couple of months and an early release would be bad PR.
Rumours are sweeping the web of a second T-Mobile phone powered by the Android operating system which could be released as early as next month.
The T-Mobile G1 – the first mobile to run on Google’s Android open source mobile software platform – went on sale in the UK today, with customers queuing from 5:00 am at T-Mobile’s Oxford Street store which opened early to allow shoppers to get their hands on the T-Mobile G1.
