In late 2008, the T-Mobile G-1 with Google was released, and for the first time users were able to get a look at the Android operating system. Recently, T-Mobile released its second Android OS smartphone, the Google Ion (also known as the HTC Magic). The Ion improves greatly on the G-1’s design and comes with the updated version of Android which is ready for T-Mobile’s 3G network.
Android Market is Google’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store— it is where owners of phones that support the Android operating system, such as the T-Mobile G-1 with Google or the new Samsung I7500, can purchase applications for their smartphones. The main difference, besides the manufacturer, is that the Android Market makes available applications made by third party developers without having them cleared first.
The T-Mobile G-1 has many features that make it appealing to a wide demographic. To maximize user friendliness, it comes with a full touch-screen in addition to a side slide-out QWERTY keyboard. You can use the screen to type as well, but with the option of a full, 5-Line QWERTY keyboard, you can type either way. There are also specific End, Send, Home and Back keys, along with a scroll wheel and volume keys on the side.
