It appears that Australia’s Kogan is not the only one to recently announce the upcoming release of their version Android phone. China has placed itself in the Android phone mix with its Sciphone Dream G2. The Sciphone Android version offers a 2.8 inch QVGA touch screen and Wi-Fi. The camera is rated at 4 megapixels and the Dream G2 includes an FM tuner as well. The phone runs on the Android Home edition V1.0.

Despite all that the Chinese version of the Android phone offers, the Sciphone Dream G2 is really missing too much to be competitive with the earlier Android releases. Some items of importance for being competitive on today’s Android phone market include 3G and GPS. The main feature that it baffles as to the reasoning of its absence is the QWERTY keyboard. One must question how the creatures planned for the users to input text on this phone.

The Sciphone Dream G2 certainly will have a lower price tag than the Agora, which is another newer Android version being released, but the lack of features comparatively will substantiate the lower price. If you are looking for true, full-featured Android OS, then stay away from the Dream G2 by Sciphone. It is more of a nightmare along these lines. However, if you want just a taste of what an Android OS is like, then the price is right for the Dream G2 to get you started.

An overview of the products which run on the Android-Google Mobile Phone.

While initial reports indicated that Google was launching a phone with internet capabilities to rival the Blackberry, in reality Google provided the software technology and teamed with T-Mobile and HTC to create the Google phone T-Mobile G1.

Android is the operating system technology behind the T-Mobile G1 phone, and T-Mobile is the first to have this Android power.  T-Mobile introduced its Google-powered G1 phone at a New York media even on September 23, 2008.

The official launch day for T-Mobile’s G1 phone in the United States was October 22, 2008 and in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2008. It will hit Europe by storm at the beginning of next year. The T-Mobile G1 phone is now available at T-Mobile stores and on the T-Mobile website. The services of Android Marketplace allow for downloading games and programs with the integration with Google tools and services.

The Android-powered T-Mobile G1 phone is considered the biggest competitor of the Apple, Inc iphone. The launch of the T-Mobile G1 phone lacked the hype of the release of the iphone, but it is a polished operation system that has an appeal of its own. Look for a major rivalry as Google, HTC, and T-Mobile plan new and improved G line of Android-powered phones.
