Google’s Dream

Remember Google's Android? I am sure you do, but if you don't, feel free to check this article about how it all started, this one about its arrival or, at last, the article related to the SDK for Google's mobile platform, here. Now, details related to the first phone based on Google's Android have just started to surface...


Unofficial sources claim that the mobile phone maker High Tech Computer (shortly known as HTC) has been working on a phone to run on Google's Android for a while. This phone will be called "Dream", and is expected to feature a large touchscreen and full QWERTY keypad, with navigational controls for the Internet placed below the handset's screen.

For now, it seems there are also additional details known, as the size 5 inch long, 3 inches wide, but the keypad may either slide or swivel out, so this is not quite clear yet. Obviously, the target of this phone will be to make it as easy as possible to write emails, notes, and surf the Web.

While HTC didn't comment on this, the unofficial inside source claims the handset should become available before the end of the year, and it may as well be the first phone based on Android, if Samsung, Motorola or others aren't going to release their own Android-based phones first...
