The HTC G-1 is not available for Aussies seeking the use of Android, so one phone maker has decided to create a device themselves. Kogan Technologies is reporting that they will make their own Android clad phone that includes GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, trackball, Qwerty keyboard and all the other features found on the T-Mobile G-1. They are slated to release the phone at the price of $199. Many of the Android users down under are G-1’s that they got for loads of money and unlocked through little stands like those in China.
I hope they take battery life into consideration. They need to make sure their battery life outlasts the G-1, then they will have people paying super high prices to get their device. They haven’t set a release date, but let’s assume they’ll have it ready by late next year.
Well this is where research comes in. I just did a browse for a picture of Kogan Technology and found their site. They have said that an Android device will be ready by Christmas! That’s a pretty hefty statement by Kogan. Less than two months and they don’t even have a name or specs.
