Hasta La Gadget!

The race to release new Android handsets has been a slow crawl, indeed. The deluge of new phone utilizing Google’s open-source operating system has yet to surface in any way, beyond the multitude of promises from a number of phone and netbook manufacturers. T-Mobile, however, is reportedly working on its own follow up to the first–and still only–Android handset in the States, the G1.

According to The Wall Street Journal, more details about the handset–set to be called the myTouch 3G–will surface next week. Like its predecessor, the new phone will be designed by hardware manufacturer, HTC. The myTouch 3G will reportedly look a lot like the HTC Magic–with a touchscreen and no physical keyboard and a smaller body than the iPhone.

The phone’s software will also feature some update, including a voice-activated search function. More details next week–probably.
