Google has launched its new Android Dev Phone 1, an unlocked Android-based handset meant especially for application developers. The phone will feature a 3Mpix camera, support for Wi-Fi and GPS, as well as quad-band GSM/EDGE networks, and will be available for $399 + $25 developer registration fee.

Good news for iPhone users: Google Earth is now available through the AppStore, and its free! According to users' feedback, the application runs smoothly and is even easier to use than its PC counterpart thanks to iPhone's multi-touch interface.

This video will demonstrate how Google Search will be integrated in the upcoming Android phone.

As expected, to celebrate the upcoming launch of its Android phone, Google is planning to hold a series of launch parties within the next month. These are employees only, but atleast we can expect tons of new photos. Below there's the party schedule:

9/23 - New York
9/24 - New Jersey (City not specified)
9/25 - Philadelphia
10/6 - Da

Today at Google's Developer Day event the company showed off its mysterious Android phone. According to reports it looks more “far more polished” than it was in its previous appearances, which makes us believe that the device is finished.

We expect more news in the near future. Meanwhile, here's a video from the event.

 

Google has released today its new Mobile App for BlackBerry smartphones. This application will provide quick access to services like Google search, Google Mail, Google Maps and Google Sync, all in one, and is a definite "must have" for Blackberry users.

Rumor has it that T-Mobile is set to announce the Google's G1 sometime this month in New York. September 23rd is the most probable date, but neither company has confirmed or denied that. Either way, the waiting game won't be long.

The source of this information is unknown, but according to the Telegraph T-Mobile UK will launch the Google's HTC Dream sometime in November. Well, atleast that's what they say, as there was no official confirmation yet.

J. Gold Associates predict that in the near fufure, three to six months from now, Google and Nokia will combine their Android and Symbian platforms "to provide a single open source OS". Although there are no signs that somehow prove the aforementioned statement, the source is positively convinced that will happen very soon.

"A combination of the Android and Symbian efforts would be good for the industry, good for Google and good for Symbian", - say analysts.
