US telecom carrier T-Mobile announced on Monday that the latest version of a touch-screen smartphone featuring Google’s Android software would be available in August.The T-Mobile myTouch 3G is being seen as T-Mobile and Google’s answer in the highly competitive smartphone market to the newly released Apple iPhone 3GS, the Palm Pre and the latest Blackberrys from Canada’s Research in Motion.Apple announced on Monday that it had sold more than one million iPhone 3GS in just three days.
T-Mobile, the US operation of Deutsche Telekom and Google released their first phone, the T-Mobile G1, in October of last year.The G1 and the myTouch 3G are made by HTC of Taiwan and run on Google’s open-source Android software, which the California-based Internet search giant is hoping will be adopted as a platform by other mobile phone makers.T-Mobile said the myTouch 3G would feature a touch-screen display with a virtual keyboard and increased ability to personalize the phone through the use of applications available through the Android Market.
T-Mobile said the myTouch features a 3.2-megapixel camera, a music player with a four-gigabyte microSD memory card, enhanced video capabilities as well as one-click upload capability to sites such as YouTube and Picasa.MyTouch also features one-touch access to other Google services such as Google Search by voice and Google Maps.T-Mobile said the myTouch will cost 199.99 dollars with a two-year service agreement — the same price as the new iPhone and the Palm Pre. It will be available in US stores in early August.
