First Android phone to debut next week

After months of intense speculation and rumors of delays, T-Mobile is poised to unveil the very first Android device next week. HTC Dream will debut just shy of a year from the date that Google announced the creation of its Android open-source mobile phone platform. Google says that the idea behind Android is to spur innovation in the development of mobile phone applications. Indeed, Google set aside $10 million in prizes for the most innovative and useful applications for the platform. The application contest winners were announced by Google last month. It remains to be seen how popular Android will be, and how it will be able to compete with Apple's iPhone.
