The second-generation iPhone hype is finally over for some. Now that a new mobile device is on its way to the shelves of the mobile phone sellers, they were glad that they made the right choice. And that is, not to buy the 3G iPhone when it was launched. Not because that the 3G iPhone had lots of glitches and flaws that Apple Inc. still don’t seem to mind but because T-Mobile’s Android will soon be out in the market.

Before the 3G iPhone had its debut, the Android, a Google-based mobile phone, had its hype as well. According to the reports from New York Times, consumers may soon get their hands on the Android. An information from a reliable source told the New York Times that despite the ongoing rumors that the Android will have a delayed launch, the debut will push through before 2008 ends. They also mentioned that T-Mobile may launch the much awaited HTC-manufactured phone within October this year.

Some people claim that the Android won’t become a hit as much as iPhone did. However, analysts said that Apple’s devout disciples must not be too comfortable about that. Remember that the iPhone from Apple Inc. does not currently perform the basic functions of the phone up to par.
