Just as we thought the plucky T-Mobile G1 was being left to languish in the ‘old phone’ drawer as the Motorola DROID grabs the world’s attention with Google Maps , a man named Akira Harada has given us all hope by porting the latest Android 2.0 update across to the original Google phone!
Whilst the update isn’t fully optimised, and the G1 does need to be “rooted” for this to work (instructions here ), the video proof shows that it is a risk many will be willing to take for Android... Read Full Story

Okay, so T-Mobile confirmed on Saturday that it’s launching “multiple” Android devices from “three partners” later this year, and since most people assume the HTC Magic / Sapphire / myTouch / whatever and the Samsung I7500 are pretty much locked in, speculation has generally centered around that mysterious G1 v2 and the identity of the third partner — and it looks like it’s going to be Motorola.

According to TmoToday's supposed leak, the HTC-sourced G2 / Magic is expected this summer -- which seems like an incongruous statement considering that we're now expecting it to launch as the myTouch 3G . That would have us believing that the doc is either... Read Full Story
