Second 'Google phone' to rival iPhone unveiled


The second in what industry commentators believe will be a long series of phones based on the Google-backed Android mobile phone operating system has been announced by Vodafone at the Mobile World Congress.

Manufactured by HTC, who also produce the first Android phone handset, the G1, the touchscreen phone, known as 'Magic', will feature Wi-Fi, a 3.2 megapixel camera and GPS capabilities, as well as an update to the Android operating system.

It will incorporate an onscreen keyboard rather than the slide-out keyboard of the G1, a feature many believed gave it the edge over Apple's iPhone, though the saved space also translates to a thinner design than its predecessor which was criticised as 'clunky'.
