    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.
