Not content to simply rule the entire Internet, Google, the beneficent giant (think one part Microsoft, one part hippies, three parts Ed Grimley and four parts Steven Hawking) wants your phone. Well, that is, if you’re a T-Mobile customer.
Google announced on Monday that they would pair up with T-Mobile to use their Android operating system on the HTC Dream, also known as T-Mobile G1. Yes, the Googlephone is alive. And no, it can’t let you do that Hal. The first honest to God competitor to the iPhone, complete with open source OS, is not pretty. It’s almost akin to a Nintendo DS/Sony PSP hybrid, along with a hint of Treo, Blackberry, Sidekick and iPhone-at best. But Lord have mercy, it’ll sell craploads, as it’s expected to by year’s end.
