Google Phone Launch

This Tuesday, T-Mobile will launch Dream, a phone made by HTC which is first Google phone or to be exact the phone that running on Google’s Android software. Android is the first complete, open-source, and free mobile platform. It is develop by a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies called The Open Handset Alliance.

Eventhough the launch will end the long-awaited introduction of Android base phone, some experts said it not likely won’t be accompanied by the mad rush that surrounded Apple’s introduction of the iPhone. Researchers from Strategy Analytics are predicting that 0.4 million Android phones will sell in the fourth quarter this year, making up 4 percent of the smartphone market share in the U.S. In comparison, Apple sold 1.12 million iPhones in the first quarter the phone was on the market, although the iPhone was for sale for a full three months and the Android phone will only likely sell for two months before the end of the year. While T-Mobile is planning a launch event on Tuesday, the phone is not expected to become available until as late as the end of October.
