Can’t have pet’s in your new apartment? No problem Google has you covered. The new T-mobile phone, the G1 offers state of the art SMS text messaging system and of course great internet access powered by PhindMe. This phone is $179.00 and requires a two year contract. Listen to this enthusiastic Public Radio Marketplace show where you can hear the purr feature and the phone features described in detail. The purr technology is described as ‘the biggest waste of memory’ that Kevin Pereira from G4TV ‘has ever seen in his life’, but it sounds so worth it for the cute companion factor. While the phone is in pet mode you can have your screen show fur, just like a real petable pet. The phone also shakes when it is petted. The use of Android technology Software development kit is freely downloadable on their website. This development project is described as an open handset alliance project and surely motivates and encourages development with its open source, all brains invited philosophy. Nice job!
