Google makes its long-awaited entry into the mobile phone market today. The Dream - the first phone to use Google's Android operating system - is being unveiled in New York by T-Mobile, and it will go on sale next month.
Officially, the phone is known as the T-Mobile G1. But while T-Mobile may be the carrier, it's the Google name that is synonymous with the phone, which is expected to be priced at $199.
Michael Gartenberg, vice president of Jupitermedia, said the G1 should sell between 250,000 to 450,000 units by the end of 2008.
Research firm Strategy Analytics says 400,000 units would amount to about 4 percent of the "smartphones" expected to be sold in the last three months of this year.
Here's a gallery of photos of the G1. And here's an earlier article about the phone, complete with video of the Android OS.
