HTC Magic

The race to launch a touch screen smartphone this summer heats up.

With Palm launching its Palm Pre on June 6, the Nokia N97 on June 19, and Apple expected to introduce at a new iPhone on July 17 … T-Mobile has announced their plans to succeed its G1 Android smartphone.

T-Mobile will launch Android G2 this summer to build on its popularity which saw 1 million G1 sold.

Although no device is yet known which will carry the G2 name, it is believe the new HTC Magic will be the likely choice.

For all current T-Mobile G1 users, they will be given a major software upgrade in the form of Android OS 1.5 (also known as Cupcake).
