Android is finally finding its footing in the market and Google predicts that this will be a big year for the operating system. T-Mobile announced this week that since the G1 launched six months ago the handset has now sold a million units. The G1 debuted in October 2008 and has had several updates to add functionality and fix bugs in the operating system.
DailyTech reported in early April 2009 that T-Mobile is planning to move more of its smartphones over to the Android OS and other reports show that T-Mobile also plans to release a home phone running the Android OS.
Android is also being eyed by some computer makers to move outside the smartphone realm and into the netbook market. HP announced in early April 2009 that it was considering using the Android operating system on netbooks. However, the computer giant also pointed out that it was considering many options and the decision had not yet been made on Androids HP future.
