The first handset to be powered by Google’s Android OS has been officially announced – the T-Mobile G1, to be available exclusively on the T-Mobile network. G1 will sport seamless integration with Google applications – namely the seven applications it comes pre-installed with – which are as follows: Search, Mail, Maps, Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, GTalk, and, the Youtube application. This is hardly surprising, being as Android is a Google-driven OS, but, it’s nice too see that the applications will all work together – synching with Google’s online services, and the like. This means, that any change you make – for instance, adding a contact to your Gmail account on the G1, will also appear on Gmail on your computer desktop. Priced at $179, on a two-year contract, it’s to be available from October 22nd in the US. It’ll also be available for $399 sim-free. As for other countrys, the launch dates range from November, into early 2009.
