Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?Search giant Google has shown off its new “Google phone” operating system ahead of the device’s official launch in New York next Tuesday. Mike Jennings, one of the development team behind the Android operating system, gave attendees at a Google Developer Day conference a glimpse of how to design software for the device.
He created a simple game showing a blue dot bouncing around the phone’s screen, which moved as the handset was tilted.
Although the phone was obscured by masking tape, it is reported to have looked like the Dream, a handset developed by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC, which is expected to be the first commercially available mobile phone to run Android.
