The next generation of the mobile phones was announced as T-Mobile, Google, and HTC introduced the first Android-powered handset, the G1.
The handset will include a touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, GPS, Google App integration, and support for Amazon's music download service.
T-Mobile USA will sell the phone for $179, slightly cheaper than Apple Inc's iPhone.
G1 users will have free push GMail, wireless syncing with Google calendar, and support for YouTube.
The Google Maps feature has a built-in compass which enables users to view locations and navigate 360 degrees by moving the phone with their hands.
The handset will have a multimedia player, preloaded with an Amazon application that enables users to search, download, and buy music from more than 6 million DRM-free tracks.
The G1 also has Bluetooth capabilities, a dedicated search button, and users will be able to download applications from the Android Market.
The Android operating system has widespread possibilities beyond the mobile phone market, and being open source will invite creative applications in other fields.
Google has a very wide spread of online products and while some will falter and disappear, the take up and success of others will produce income streams to supplement their huge online advertising revenue.
Our USA Online Local Search Business Directory has 10 million businesses listed; a very substantial number of pages indexed by Google, and provides prospects to the businesses at no cost, via Google’s organic search results.
