Samsung Launching Google Phone in 2009

by Thomas Ricker on December 19, 2008 at 11:48 AM


Without a doubt, 2009 is destined to be the year of The Android. Samsung earlier this week announced its ticket to the party with a Q2 launch of its Android phones on both Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile in the US. Apparently, the touch-screen device will be an adaptation of the Omnia (Korea's 800 x 480 pixel version please) and Instinct. In other words, a rectangle with a full-screen display and minimal set of buttons just like every other touchscreen device out there. In case you missed it, this game is no longer about the hardware.

I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.

The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?

Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

So pissed at @thomashouston right now for not reminding me about James Blake last night.
