Nu kommer Android, men danskerne må vente
Google og T-Mobile er klar til at løfte sløret for den første mobiltelefon med det nye styresystem Android. Det er dog tvivlsomt, om telefonen kommer til Danmark i år.

With all the hysteria that came with the Apple's iPhone released, I am quite surprised to see that there is little news on this. WellEngadget has great coverage including videos showing off some of the features of TMobile's android phone release. While both movies contain some Google Maps's usage, the second video is a lot more detailed about this. It shows off something called compass mode, which is sort of like a realtime augmented reality type thing. As you move, the street view moves along with you so that it aligns with the real world (in theory of course). It starts at about 1:30 into the second video, so look at it from there if you want.

First Android Phone: "T-Mobile G1 With Google"

If the video shown during the press conference is any indication, T-Mobile's "G1 with Google" should give the iPhone a run for its money. Much was made during the press conference of the "totally open" platform (vs. Apple), though Apple wasn't mentioned by any of the presenters. Here's the press release.

Google on Android

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 8:16 AM

At Google, we develop products that we love to use ourselves. For example, we're avid users of Search, Gmail, Maps, and many others. But for those of us in mobile, it's tough. Not all products work the same on all devices, and although we try and optimize for each device, we often run into challenges specific to certain mobile phone platforms. I, for one, used to carry three devices with me all day. I love my iPhone for its powerful browser and music player. I use my BlackBerry for Gmail and Calendar (and occasionally Brick Breaker), and I carry a Nokia N-series phone because of its camera and YouTube application.
