This weekend it was that time again, the next Android birthday could be celebrated. There are different dates for this day, in this case we are talking about the presentation of the first Android smartphone for retail. It was then known as T Mobile G1, Google G1 or HTC Dream.
Before this smartphone, Android’s strategy (behind the scenes) looked very different. Only the previously released iPhone had a reason to rely on a touchscreen concept. In the end, a wild mix came out with a touchscreen, magic ball and a full QWERTZ keyboard.
If you watch his demo video, which shows Android before the G1, you’ll sometimes see a device without a touchscreen.
