This one's so wacky it kinda makes sense.
Last week I went to a media
breakfast with folks from Google and T-Mobile, during which they talked
about the forthcoming myTouch 3G Android device almost like it was a
very souped-up feature phone as much as a tricked out smartphone. They
also made repeated reference to it as T-Mo's flagship phone for the
rest of 2009, at least.
Now comes word from TmoNews that T-Mo and HTC (makers of the
myTouch and G1) may be hard at work on a true "Android feature phone,"
so to speak: The HTC Click. David over at TmoNews reports on a source
who flapped her (his?) gums awhile about a small little Android phone
that the two companies hope to release later this year at a retail
price of just $99. That two-digit price, coupled with a purported cute
little form factor, sounds ridiculous for a smartphone before you
consider one factor: Smartphones are the new feature phones. And Google
wants Android to be the smartphone platform for the masses.
Details? Sure. Bear in mind these are just way-out rumors at this point:
