New T-Mobile Gadgets to Sport Google Software

06 Apr, 2009, 2:51 pm IST | by Reuters |

Wireless carrier T-Mobile is planning an aggressive push into the home with a variety of communication devices that will use Google's new Android operating software, the New York Times said.


According to the paper, confidential documents obtained from a company partner indicate that T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telecom AG, plans to sell a home phone early next year and a tablet computer soon after, both running Android. A T-Mobile spokesman, Peter Dobrow, declined to discuss any future company products but confirmed plans for several devices based on Android, the paper said.

 The Android operating system, already run on a T-Mobile cellphone, handles basic functions for mobile devices and competes with operating systems made by Apple, Microsoft, Nokia and others. T-Mobile and Google could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters.
