Mobile application platform Android launched by Google |
 |
Google launches the first mobile phone using Android mobile platform. It features touch screen navigation capabilities similar to iPhone and ability to use phone menu keys found on Blackberry mobile devices.
It will be available on the US network of T-Mobile and is expected to be on sale in October.
The first device to run the search giant's operating system will be a handset from Taiwanese firm HTC called the "Dream".
No price for the phone has been given yet but it is expected to be below the important $200 (£107) price point.
Prototypes
Google announced its plans for the Android phone software in November 2007 with a declared aim of making it easier to get at the web while on the move.
To help develop Android, Google also unveiled the Open Handset Alliance - a partnership of more than 30 firms that would work to make phone software easier to work with.
The group includes operators such as Telefonica, handset makers such as HTC and Motorola as well as chipmakers such as Intel and Qualcomm.
Many of the partners demonstrated early prototype Android phones at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona in mid-February.
The idea behind Android is to do for phone software what the open source Linux software has done for PCs. Developers of phone software can get at most of the core elements of the Android software to help them write better applications.
Smartphones
However, in launching Android, Google faces stiff competition from established players such as Nokia with its Symbian software and Microsoft with its Mobile operating system.
More recently Apple has been gaining customers with its much-hyped iPhone.
The Android software is squarely aimed at the smart phone segment of the handset market, which adds sophisticated functions to the basic calling and sending text messages capabilities of most phones.
Current estimates suggest that 12-13% of the all handsets can be considered smart phones.
