Google's Android Shows Off for the First Time on HTC Device
A La Mobile, a small software developer dedicated to Linux-based platforms and open source technology, has deployed Google's Android platform into an HTC Qtek 9090 smartphone. The company is touting it as the first functioning Android-based handset.
A La Mobile’s president and CEO, Pauline Lo Alker, a West Coast high-tech serial entrepreneur, made the announcement.
The suite of applications includes a Google browser, Google maps, an audio player, a phone dialer for making voice calls, calendar, games, camera, contacts manager, notes, calculator, and others. A La Mobile claimed this is the first Android prototype and it has plans to pitch the suite to mobile phone makers.
"We believe it is our responsibility to take the initiative to allay the 'mystery' and dispel any skepticism surrounding Android by first demonstrating a complete mobile Linux system stack, including drives, middleware, and a suite of Android-based applications," Alker said in a statement.
A La Mobile indicated it will fill gaps in the Android program by providing framework and application programming interfaces that will attract third-party developers to create unified applications.
A La Mobile noted that the Android effort's planned release of source code bodes well for the alliance, but that Android has lacked a complete off-the-shelf software stack.
HTC, the company that created the first smart phone to host Android, is one of the 34 companies in Google’s Open Handset Coalition. However, A La Mobile is not part of the Coalition.
