We recently had a chance to mess with two new Android devices, the Samsung Galaxy i7500 and the HTC Hero. Although on the surface, these two seem rather alike (3.2 inch capacitive touchscreens, Android 1.5, 5 MP shooter, GPS with compass), no two devices could be more different. And no, we are not yammering about the fact that the Galaxy has more onboard memory (8GB to the Hero’s relatively modest 500-odd MB) or that it has an OLED screen or that its camera has a flash, but about the interface.
Whereas Sammy has opted to let the Galaxy have the typical Android device look (complete with analog clock), HTC has decided to be far more innovative and thrown a skin over it. Called Sense, the UI is the successor of the much-hyped Touch Flo, and is certainly a heckuva differentiator. Unlike some manufacturers who just use skins to accommodate larger and more finger-friendly icons (these are the stylus’ last days, after all), HTC have made Sense something that adds to the Android experience. Instead of three customisable screens, the user gets a massive seven. Most significantly, the browser and the album have been tweaked to accommodate multi-touch – so you can zoom in and out of pages by pinching your fingers just like you can on (more…)

Now thats really cheap! According to NYTimes Samsung plans to launch ‘multiple’ ‘touchscreen’ Android phones costing less than $100 by next year.
While we already see tones of Chinese iPhone clones selling for $50-$75, it will be interesting to see what Samsung has to offer with an Android at that price. All we know is these phones will allow full internet browsing. This announcement comes along with the launch of eco-friendly Samsung Reclaim which is a $50 phone made of ‘corn’.

Bad news for Android fans expecting new releases at MWC next week. Apparently Samsung has delayed its Android phone to the second half of 2009. Samsung currently offers full touchscreen devices like the iPhone competitor Instinct and Windows Mobile powered Omnia; it is believed that Samsungs Android offering would be designed on similar lines.
