RSSOfficial: T-Mobile to premiere Android on Sept. 23

An independent Android developers' blog reports having received an official invitation from carrier T-Mobile to cover a press conference in New York City Tuesday morning, where the first Android-powered phone will be unveiled.
A screenshot of the invitation appears on Android Authority this afternoon.
Earlier this morning, UK time, during a session for Google's "Developer Day" world tour in London that had not appeared on the official schedule, Google developer advocate Mike Jennings reportedly demonstrated a fully working prototype of Android running on a touchscreen phone. Though a piece of tape was used to mask the phone's branding, its shape and size were almost unmistakably identical to an HTC Dream, a phone which could sell for as little as $149 during a limited-time promotion.
BetaNews has inquired with T-Mobile for more information, though we frankly don't expect to get much more before Tuesday.
Looking forward to this. This could well be Google's entry to the general OS market through the back door with a network centric view. AFAIK android is quite versatile, maybe a netbook build is around the corner once they iron out the PDA. Now that would be the shiznat!

|I hope T-mobile will put the android on a better phone than Dream... If they sold the HTC Touch Pro, or the upcoming HTC HD phone they could turn big profits from people who would simply switch to tmobile because of the phone.
