"T-Mobile plans to sell a home phone early next year and soon after a tablet computer, both running Android, according to confidential documents obtained from one of the company’s partners. The phone will plug into a docking station and come with another device that handles data synchronization as it recharges the phone’s battery."
"T-Mobile’s use of Android to advance its ambitions also shows just how blurry the line has become between phones and computers. Its tablet-size phone device resembles a small laptop without a keyboard and has a seven-inch touch screen. It would handle basic computing jobs like checking the weather or managing data across a variety of devices in the home."
So i'm guessing this will be a UPC (ultra portable computer), or UMC (ultra mobile computer), or UMPC (ultra mobile personal computer), or whatever the hell they call them.
I'm pretty interested in the Android OS, its not the best thing right now, but it looks like it could turn out to be a great mobile phone OS. I plan on trying out the upcoming HTC "magic" AKA G2.
