The Android mobile phone "T-MOBILE G1" is officially announced-"Android Market" opens

　T-mobile and Google have officially announced their first mobile phones with Google's new OS "Android".The mobile phone with the official name "T-Mobile G1" is equipped with a full-size touch screen function, a QWERTY array keyboard, and a trackball that can navigate with one hand.You can access mobile web applications.Currently, reservations are accepted in limited quantities on T-Mobile G1 only in the United States in the United States.From October 22, US time, it will start selling at a retail store for $ 179 under the conditions for setting the two -year contract audio and data communication plan.In November, it will be released in the UK and in 2009 in the entire European region.

　Immediately, I would like to introduce the function of the T-Mobile G1. Wi-Fi, 3G (also compatible with dual band UMTS), multimedia messaging, e-mail (support for Gmail, other POP3 and IMAP services), instant messaging (of course you can select Google Talk, HTML Full) Browser, GPS function, 3 megapixel camera, multitasking compatible, music player that can access the "Amazon MP3" store, Bluetooth, and GSM compatible with 4 bands. Although it is my personal opinion, another very attractive function is "contextual search" that allows you to search for all related information simply by inputting the type with the keyboard. This is very similar to the search function installed in "Helio Ocean", and can perform any search, from contact information to the Internet only by tapping of several characters.

　Regarding Google Maps, it supports Google Maps Street View, which allows navigation of cities around the world from a street perspective as if standing on a street corner.In addition, the compass is built in the telephone itself, and the navigation in the direction of the entire 360 degrees is realized while moving the telephone.The Amazon MP3 store is also DRM-free, and is likely to be a hit service for T-Mobile G1.When connecting to Wi-Fi, you can purchase and download songs directly (you can search, listen to songs, and purchase songs when connecting mobile phones).The selling price of single songs is 0.At $ 89, the album is 5.99 to 9.Can be purchased in the $ 99 price range.
