Hey, a la Mobile, 2004 called and they want their smartphone back. In a move to show the world that the Android OS is compatible with all sorts of older, ARM-based devices, a California-based Linux/Open-Source handset software development firm, a la Mobile, has announced that they have installed their own Android OS stack on the 4-year-old HTC Blue Angel (aka Qtek 9090).
a la Mobile is showing off their own set of prototype phone applications for the Android OS. The underlying Android OS platform is no good without application that bring phone-functionality to the table – and that’s where a la Mobile comes in. They’ve built a set of apps, like a browser, camera, and game applications to show the world that they know what they’re doing with Android OS. Now, there’s no officially-supported Android OS stack as of yet, but a la Mobile is hoping that the OHA will at least consider their prototype Android offering.
Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to wait until the end of 2008 for a viable Android OS handset to hit the market?
