Android-powered Huawei handsets on track for Q3 2009 release (in Australia)
We had already heard it through the grapevine, but now Huawei has stepped in to confirm. Straight from the horse's (or spokesperson, in this instance) mouth: "Huawei can confirm that their first Android smartphone is scheduled to launch in the third quarter of 2009. Huawei's smartphones can be ordered and developed for Australian operators based on any such requests." It stands to reason that other markets outside of AU would be able to get their paws around 'em as well, though we sadly have no idea how long proliferation would take. Looks like Australia's gearing up to be a serious Android battleground -- who woulda thunk it, mate?[Via UnwiredView]

You all seem to have forgotten about drop-bears.
Or maybe you don't know about them?

'Serious Android Battleground'? I think not. Consider the G1 isn't retailing here :(.
