Google's bid to dominate the mobile phone operating software market got a boost today when Taiwanese handset maker HTC unveiled the third phone based on the Internet search giant's technology.
Starting this spring, the Magic will be available exclusively to Vodafone customers in Great Britain, Germany, Spain and France and non-exclusively in Italy. Pricing was not disclosed. HTC executives, speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, said they were working on making the device available in the United States.
The Magic can access email options such as Google Mail, POP3 and IMAP as well as Google Talk for instant messaging. Popular Google applications are also integrated such as Google Maps and Google Search as well as access to video sharing site YouTube.
It has access to Google's upcoming Android Market, an online application marketplace similar to Apple's popular App Store.
