Android can now move on to look back five years, in which the Google OS on it has managed a vast crowd of smart phones. The very first Android smartphone, the HTC Dream , also known as T-Mobile G1 , is today the day exactly 5 years old – if that’s not a reason to celebrate.
determine the exact birth of Android, unfortunately, is not quite so simple: 23 September 2008 can be considered as a holiday for two reasons in the Android world, however, because on this date the first iteration of the Android SDK has not only published, but with the HTC Dream and the very first Android smartphone presented to the world. Thus began not only the rapid rise of Android as a mobile operating system, but also the Taiwanese company HTC – even if it has come to stumble a bit lately

The HTC Dream was for its time a very exciting smartphone with specifications from today’s perspective rather have a certain entertainment value: To be cute display measured 3.2 inches in diagonal and solved with modest 480 x 320 pixels. The single-core processor from Qualcomm overclocked dynamically 125-384 MHz and backed by 192 MB of RAM. The highlight of the HTC Dream was without question the hardware keyboard, hid under the display and by an ingenious sliding mechanism came into view – a feature that the HTC Desire Z (G2) still found a successor, but now officially from HTC was pronounced dead.
Officially
was the HTC Dream, under the name T-Mobile G1 was available in Germany in February 2009, after all, supplied with updates to Android 2.1, unofficially but even porting of Android Jelly Bean are available. Even if it is has more to do proof of concept projects, because to actually runnable custom ROMs, it’s nice to see that such an elderly android still enjoys popularity in the developer community.
