Mobile carrier T-Mobile was the first to offer a smartphone based on Google's Android operating system. Now just days after HP confirmed it is studying the use of Android for netbooks, T-Mobile says it plans to use the Linux-based operating system in other devices, too.
T-Mobile, the carrier that partnered with Google for the
search giant’s mobile phone, based on Google’s Android operating system, is
reportedly working on additional products that would leverage Google’s Android
operating system.
T-Mobile is planning a home phone and a tablet computer that
will use the Android operating system, according to a report in the Wall Street
Journal.

The carrier confirmed that it plans several devices based on
Android, but declined to offer further details, according to the report.
However, it is no surprise that T-Mobile would look to offer
such devices. The carrier was the first
to partner with Google on the Android-based Google phone, manufactured by HTC. And T-Mobile’s rivals, AT&T and Verizon,
are both offering subsidized netbooks to the consumer market. Verizon recently
announced a $50 netbook offered to customers who sign a two-year Internet
service agreement.
And T-Mobile is not the only one looking at Android for other
devices. HP and Asus are both studying the potential use of Android in
netbooks.
