| MWC 2009: HTC Magic is the New Android Based Mobile Phone Posted: 17 Feb 2009 09:19 PM PST 
After the G1, HTC has launched its second phone that is based on Google's and OHA's Android mobile OS. This one will be called the HTC Magic and not HTC Dream, which was a rumor earlier. Earlier HTC G1 came on T-Mobile but this time, HTC Magic will be coming on Vodafone. Unlike the G1, the Magic does not have any physical keyboard, instead it has a 3.2 inch touch screen. Other features include, GPS, HTC Trackball, 3.2 mega pixel snapper sadly there is no flash in the phone, which is a bit surprising. One more good thing is that both the Android based phones that were launched by HTC look pretty similar and they look different from HTC's Windows Mobile based handsets. Check out the detailed hands-on report and pics on Engadget.
