It really looks like we will soon see a new Android device, as Google's revealing enhancements to its Android mobile platform. Rumors point out that the T-Mobile G2 will debut at the end of January and the device is expected to have a 5-megapixel autofocus camera, VGA camera for video calls, a full touch screen and, of course, Wi-Fi connectivity. However, other rumors say the phone will be launched in April. Furthermore, it will be a non-exclusive to T-Mobile device and sold elsewhere around the world.

 

Google has changed some features of the Android, releasing bug fixes that affect elements such as e-mail, conversation-list scrolling and the alarm clock. In addition, several new features are also being added, such as the ability to save MMS attachments. The Linux kernel upon which Android runs has been upgraded to version 2.6.27, and “basic x86 support” has been added. An interesting fact shows that there's also a plan for G3, a third version of the device. It's an interesting strategy, but with a lot of Android-powered devices due to be released this year, HTC and T-Mobile do need one that is better than the G1 to stay in the game.

 

Anyway, will T-Mobile really risk enraging the million or so people who bought the first version of Google's Android just a few months ago? The carrier would make the same mistake Apple did when it cut the price of its iPhone by a couple hundred dollars, shortly after the device was released. It's clear that more and more customers just want to have the most advanced piece of technology, and this launch might really affect their budget once again.
