The smartphones came with one month of service from T-Mobile. They included version 1.5 of the Android operating system, named "Cupcake. . It looks like, if you don't need a keyboard this smartphone is faster and more powerful than the T-Mobile G1.

Some nice features include:
  • You can remove the a microSD cad without removing the batterry.
  • The T-Mobile G2 has a trackball and touchscreen.
  • The Android Ion has voice search.
  • When typing words, the HTC Sapphire has predicts words.
  • 5 megapixel camera with video capture.
  • 528-MHz Qualcomm processor,
  • 3G and Wi-Fi.
  • Stereo Bluetooth support.
The Google HTC Magic/Ion smartphones given away at the conference have shown up on eBay and sold for as much as $760. The HTC Magic, T-Mobile G2 (MyTouch) is expected to released in July and sell for $179 with a contract. It will be sold in Wal-Mart too. Developers don't like the smartphone being called The T-Mobile G2, they prefer HTC Magic or Sapphire (it does have blue tint.) Whatever, you call it, its expected to be a popular smartphone

Apparently there was a party during the conference, and well to celebrate the launch of then new cupcake version of the Andriod OS they served. Google cupcakes.
