Noah, from Phonedog, was lucky enough to get some hands on time the HTC Tattoo. Don’t be afraid though, John (their Android expert) is narrating, so your ears aren’t deceiving you. The video is quick, but it shows that it is quite snappy and responsive, even with the resistive touchscreen and the problems that the Sense UI has caused other phones. This video also shows the … [read full article]
Well here is some good news for those wishing to switch to the G1, or just Android. T-Mobile has decided to lower the price of the first Android phone to $129.99 on contract.

It seems like they are trying to clear the shelves for something ([read full article]
