Not two minutes had passed after posting that Portugal was infected with Android Fever, did I read from HTC that the HTC Magic is now heading to India via Bharti. If it wasn’t official before, I would say, with unbridled conviction, it is now: Android Fever is something to which a shot of penicillin cannot cure. It’s here, and it’s clear; domination is inevitable and resistance is futile. I will say, that the Magic has taken a much bigger grip on the world than I would ever have expected it to.
Key points from the HTC Press Release:
- The Android ™ platform opens up an unique opportunity to Airtel customers to customize their device with multiple mobile applications
- Airtel customers can avail many utility based applications such as Portfolio Manager, Hello Tune Manager, Weather Channel, Mobshare, In-mobile search and City Search
- HTC Magic offers cutting edge innovation with 3G capabilities, 3.2-inch HVGA touch screen, and 3.2 mega-pixel camera for an unmatched personalised mobile Web experience
- Airtel customers to get free data download of 100 MB per month for 6 months
- HTC Magic available at Airtel Relationship Centres and authorised HTC resellers across 17 cities
I was unable to find a release date for this one as well, so if anyone wants a Phandroid “thanks!”, feel free to give us a shout.
Eat that, Apple! Just imagine a billion android users. Android wins hands down. Power to open source.
The country’s name is India. Be careful with those jokes.
(I’m not from there btw)
check out the announcement on HTC’s South East Asia page. HTC Magic made its way to Malaysia as well through Celcom (Carrier).
The country has a name. You ain’t sounding any cooler calling it a call center. Get your noob head out of your a** and look around, there ARE other countries except US of A.
You guys, get over it. It was a joke; and a good one, at that.
Erm… well.
Joke… but joke about your ass… then others.
