HTC Dream Set To Become The 1st Android Phone

When the Google phone rumor mill started, everyone was expecting an actual device. What we got instead was the Android, an operating system that Google is developing for mobiles. A group of phone companies then formed the Open Handset Alliance to support the fledgling software. Now that development is making progress, the race is on to release the first Android-powered mobile. The HTC Dream is among them and here's a little of what you can expect:

HTC's Google handset is just over 5-inches long and 3-inches wide, with a keypad underneath the screen that either slides out or swivels out. The aim of the keypad is for easy e-mail, note-taking, and writing Web addresses. Internet navigational controls are situated below the screen on the handset.

Samsung, another member of the alliance, is said to be also interested in reaching the finish line first, so we'll see how it goes. For now, any member is a potential racer, but the question remains if any of them is running as fast as HTC. The Dream is scheduled for release late this year.
