Optus and HTC could be releasing the G1 in Australia tomorrow via Optus, no doubt to the chagrin of Kogan, who had won over plenty of attention to their Android-packing Agora handsets, only to have them indefinitely delayed. Support manuals had slipped out in January supporting the claim, although it didn’t mention any time frames. Although we await new Android hardware at Mobile World Congress with bated breath, the G1 still has a lot of coutries it has yet to visit (*coughCanadacough*), and will likely pave the way for the second gen devices – that is, unless, we meet another industrious, Kogan-like manufacturer who thinks they can get Android phones to market before HTC does.
