Google is getting into nearly anything Internet-related. I remember the days when it was only a simple web search that wasn’t even that popular. How things have changed for Google. They even have their own email, called Gmail, and their own web-based applications called Google Apps. They recently released a beta version of their own browser, Chrome. What is there left for Google to go into? How about mobile phones? It seems like a strange idea, but it’s true. After years of rumors and speculation, Google is going mobile. The first carrier to jump in with Google is T-Mobile. We’ll take a look at Google’s Mobile OS and the phone it runs on. T-Mobile G1 First we will take a look at the phone, which can be bought through T-Mobile. The physical phone is made by HTC, a very famous maker of smart phones. They call it the HTC Dream; they often have names for phones that are picked up by carriers but are renamed from there. The phone has a 3.2” 480 x320 pixel screen which is touch sensitive. It also features a dual core CPU/GPU chip made by Qualcomm, running at 528 MHz. Seeing a device with a big touch screen isn’t unheard of; it’s becoming the standard now. Having a physical keyboard isn’t breaking news either. What is interesting is that this phone has both, a touch screen and a keyboard. While it’s not unheard of, it isn’t typical in most devices.
Google inspires excitement and anticipation with each new area it gets into. That's every bit as true for its new mobile operating system and mobile phone design as it is for everything else. This week we take a close look at the first phone to hop on Google's bandwagon, T-Mobile's G1, to see what it has to offer.
