T-Mobile’s G1 was the first Android smartphone on the market in the US, and the carrier had no plans of stopping there. Now there’s a G2 model coming. And so T-Mobile has released a new teaser site for the T-Mobile G2 with Google, making it the first HSPA+ capable smartphone on their network.

Details are scarce, but it looks like it will come in white. Hopefully we will have more info soon. Only a vague outline of the handset has been shown, though we have heard rumors about different T-Mobile devices in the past.

The upcoming Android-powered Motorola tablet may just be called the Stingray, according to a leaked document that also shows the MOTOMZ600 model number. Stingray may be just a codename that will be dropped for the production version though.

The only other information we have is that the tablet is closer to launch than we thought. The MZ600 is expected to have a 10-inch display and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. It may ship with Android 3.0 optimized for tablets, and will have an unknown tie-in with Verizon’s FiOS TV.

If you want some Adobe AIR on your Android-powered smartphone, you won’t have long to wait. It will be available on the Android Market this fall. As part of the release, there will also be a several app available at the same time.

Developers will get to play around with a handset’s camera, microphone, accelerometer and GPS sensor. Aside from that, AIR 2.5 will also take advantage of hardware GPU acceleration as well as multi-touch input, but it will require at least an ARMv7 or faster processor, OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration and Android 2.2 before AIR 2.5 can run without any hiccups.

The folks over at Boy Genius Report have received some inside information about some new Android smartphones and tablets that are headed to Verizon Wireless. Looks like there will be a Motorola Droid Pro with a 4 inch display, a 1.3GHz processor, and global roaming, that should be set to launch in November 2010.

There will also be a business edition of the Motorola Droid 2, with a world edition global roaming feature, plus it looks like there may also be an Android based tablet, or maybe a slab style touchscreen smartphone.

Dell is cooking up some more Android devices and the latest to make its debut is the Android-powered Dell Blaze. The Blaze looks like an entry-level phone with features to match. We don’t have many details, but sadly we do know that this device is apparently running Android 1.5.

We can only hope that Dell will up their game and offer some devices with more recent versions of Android. Come on Dell, the Dell Streak was released with just Android 1.6.

PayPal is in talks with Google to add PayPal as a payment method for the Android Market. Apparently Google wants to make paying for apps as easy as possible for Android users so they can start shifting apps. As it stands, you can buy apps through Google Checkout and sometimes using carrier billing.

Both options are fine, but not popular. Using PayPal as a payment option would likely open the flood gates and move a ton of apps. On the other hand, PayPal currently powers Blackberry App World, illustrating the point that no matter how easy it is to buy apps, people still need good apps to buy.

ASUS’s 10-inch Eee Pad EP101TC, due to ship in March, will cost under $399. Then there’s the EP121, a 12-inch tablet running Windows 7 at the high end of the market for a $1,000 price tag. This one ships around December or January.

There’s also another Eee Pad cominaround January, that will run Windows Embedded Compact 7 on a 10-inch screen and at a price under $499. Lastly, there’s the grayscale Eee Tablet e-reader priced at $300 and shipping in October.

Obsessed with Star Wars? So is Flash-developer Christopher Caleb, who has come up with an Adobe AIR-based app for Android that lets you use an authentic looking X-wing targeting system on your Android device to navigate to your destination.

Sure, you won’t get all the features of your typical GPS apps, like maps, points-of-interest etc, but you will see your destination ahead of you as if you were in the Death Star trench. It also features plenty of Star Wars sounds to complete the experience.

We’ve been waiting for the next Netflix app to show up on the Android platform and it looks like it is coming soon. Soon you can enjoy Netflix’s movies and shows on all of your Android devices.

A recent job listing for an Android Video Playback Expert seems to suggest that we will be getting some Android Netflix streaming in the near future. We just don’t have a date yet.

Things are looking great for Android. Google chief Eric Schmidt must have been feeling elated when he revealed that his company is now activating 200,000 Android phones a day. That number is 25 percent higher than the 160,000 per day from late June and is double the 100,000 phones that were being switched on just three months ago. People really love them some Android.

Schmidt said he wasn’t sure how long it would continue. He isn’t concerned about the free licensing hurting revenue since many Android owners run Google searches that pop up ads and generate revenue from impressions and click-throughs. He noted that iPhone owners also make money for Google that way.

Manufacturers are churning out tablets like they were Tylenol. The Gpad G10 is yet another tablet ready to hit the market, retailing for just $185 while packing an integrated camera and an accelerometer. Sadly it has just 2GB of internal memory, but it does have a microSDHC memory card slot that can increase the G10′s memory to 32GB.

The device is powered by Telechips 8902 ARM 11-based processor that runs at 800MHz. Some other specs include a 7″ touchscren display at 800 x 480 pixels, 256MB RAM, a VGA camera, HDMI out, Android 2.1 and a 2600mAh battery.

Flat Computing has introduced its 10.2″ FlatPad A10 which features a 1024 x 600 resolution resistive touchscreen display, powered by a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and 256MB RAM and 2GB of internal memory. We’re talking Android 2.1, not Froyo.

Some other features include a built-in accelerometer, Wi-Fi, and a microSD memory card slot. Battery life is 5 hours with Wi-Fi turned on, and you get another 2 hours with Wi-Fi off. The Android 2.2 update will come sometime this month.

BlackBerrys and iPhones are so last week. The American consumer has voted with his wallet and it turns out that Android is his favorite OS of the last quarter. NPD has just announced their findings for Q2 2010 and they conclude that 33 percent of phones sold during the period had Android on board as the OS.

This is the first time, since 2007, that RIM has not been in the lead for most purchased smartphone OS in the US. BlackBerrys accounted for 28% of the market and Apple’s iPhone is third with 22%. Motorola and HTC are the two big reasons for Android’s soaring ascent.

A new application form AT&T has landed called the AT&T Code Scanner. The app is available right now for download on Blackberry devices and on the Android Marketplace.

The app lets the smartphone user scan both 2D barcodes and 1D barcodes that are printed in magazines, online, and other places to get more information on a product or service. The application also has a barcode generator that allows the user or a business to generate their own bar codes.

Nielsen put out some interesting smartphone numbers today. There’s the usual market share numbers that put Google, RIM, and Apple at 27 percent, 33 percent, and 23 percent in sales to new smartphone subscribers. But more interesting are the numbers having to do with brand loyalty.

Those numbers don’t look good for BlackBerry. Here’s how it breaks down. 89 percent of iPhone owners plan on getting another iPhone, while 71 percent of Android buyers plan to re-buy, but only 42 percent of BlackBerry owners plan to stick around.
