HTC Dream with Android OS

 
It looks like HTC was persuaded to drop Windows mobile OS and made Omni into Google’s Android demo phone. Here’s what Forbes describes it as:  
The phone, code-named “Dream” inside Google, looks somewhat like Apple’s iPhone: It is thin, about 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, and features a touch-sensitive, rectangular screen… The bottom end of the handset, near the navigational controls, is slightly beveled so it nestles in the palm. The screen also swivels to one side, revealing a full keyboard beneath. (The screen display changes from a vertical portrait mode to a horizontal display when someone uses the keyboard.)

Brighthand is part of TechTarget, a leading online Information Technology (IT) media company. Each month, Brighthand publishes a list of the most popular handhelds and smartphones. This report is compiled based on the number of views each product page receives, so every time someone clicks on a product they’re giving it a vote in these monthly rankings. This report only gives a rough idea that which devices are viewed most.
