Reuters is reporting that according to the ever dependable New York Times, T-Mobile USA will be the first network to offer Google Android handsets. The report apparently cites people briefed on the company’s plans. It would certainly be something of a scoop, though considering Google’s ambitious plans for its OS, it probably won’t be long before the first carrier with an Android handset is joined by a host of others. But, at the moment that’s by the by.
Especially when there are more important things to consider, such as who the mysterious manufacturer waiting in the wings is. Any ideas? It’s HTC of course, adding yet more highly flammable fuel to the currently roaring HTC Dream bonfire. Neither Google or HTC have responded officially to the story, though the word round the camp fire is that the device could launch as early as October.
It would certainly line up with the recently ramped up Android rumour mill, which if it continues to gather pace at the rate that it is currently, might even topple the iPhone as the headlines’ best friend.
In fact, didn’t we see something that was purported to be an HTC Dream Android phone just the other day?
