NEW YORK — Fruit of Google’s announcement last year that it would give away software that could run cellphones is set to drop today: T-Mobile says it will reveal the first phone to use the Android platform.
Research firm Strategy Analytics estimates that T-Mobile could sell 400,000 of the G1 “smart” phones this year, giving Google about 4 percent of the U.S. market.
“This is the right moment for Google to answer some of the big questions that have been outstanding since Android was announced almost a year ago,” said Morgan Gillis, executive director of the LiMo Foundation. “What will the consumer do on this handset that can’t be done on other handsets?”
