It’s taken a while, but Google’s Android mobile platform is finally getting up a head of steam, with new handset announcements. T-Mobile USA has revealed that it will launch its second Android phone, the myTouch, soon. Meanwhile, Motorola is apparently releasing its first two Android handsets by the end of this year, working with T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless in the US. It seems Google’s prediction that there’ll be 20 new Android phones this year to join the existing G1 and HTC Magic may come true. This is good news for people making music apps for Android, in that there’ll be potentially millions more Android users. However, it also means fragmentation, in terms of having to make your app support all those different phones.
