It’s not only Android handsets that we’re waiting for this year. Archos is supposed to launch an Android MID and the device seems ready to arrive in July. The company openly declared that the Android MID is coming “at the start of Q3 2009″ but failed to mention official specs and prices. We’re expecting it to bring all those Archos multimedia applications combined with some phone capabilities.

It looks like those Android phones from Acer are happening. The A1 touchscreen Android phone is going to arrive in September according to the Phillipine BusinessMirror. Unfortunately the specs still remain a mystery and we have no details about prices but they should all arrive in due time. Besides the A1 three other Acer handsets are going to be launched but we have no hot details about any of them either.

Besides the HTC Magic which is coming soon HTC will launch at least two more new Android phones this year. And it’s all pretty much official since HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou said that at least three Android handsets are coming this year, including the HTC Magic. He didn’t give us more details to work on so we’re going to be expecting blurry leaks for two more Android phones.

Samsung’s first Android phone is up in blurry pictures. And it looks like this Samsung special handset will be a candybar with a capacitive touchscreen display, a 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera, a 528MHz processor, microSD expansion, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, email, Internet browser and full Google integration. You’re also going to get quad-band GSM, UMTS, HSDPA 7.2 and HSUPA 1.4 connectivity. Since this is all leaked news, we have no prices or release dates so far.

Google has introduced a new Image Search results page for both the iPhone and the Android platform. If you live in the U.S. UK or Japan, your Image Searches will be significantly improved. Now you can scan up to 20 images on a single page and you’ll get detailed info with every image. And now images can be filtered by style: faces, clip art, photo content just like on the desktop version. Ready to test it out? Remember to go to the USA, UK and Japan. And iPod touch users relax, the new Google Image Search is available for the the touch too.

Google has just released Android 1.1 for the unlocked version of G1. It will fix POP3 accounts among other things and it will also get involved in the way you access paid apps on your Android Dev Phone 1. Paid applications will be supported but you won’t be able to access any of them as long as they are protected by Android’s copy protection features. That means you will have access only to those paid apps that don’t come with copy protection. What will you choose then? A totally unlocked G1 with little access to paid applications or a G1 with a contract and with full access to all paid applications?

A recent rumor is spreading around the Internet saying that T-Mobile might be more interested in Android phones for its future. Windows Mobile is said to be the one to suffer in all this as the OS will be dumped in favor of Google. Reinhard Clemens, board member at Deutsche Telekom has recently said that “Android will be a Windows of future”. This is just speculation here but the guy is simply saying that T-Mobile will have lots of Android phones in the future. Should Steve Ballmer worry? Will other carrier adopt similar positions?

The Kogan Agora hasn’t been launched yet, but it seems that the folks behind it are working hard to make it happen. The phone is not ready to be commercialized just yet and it seems that Kogan is considering that full QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen. That’s going to be a large, 3.8-inch screen ready to welcome your fingers. There’s still no official release date of the Agora but we’re going to keep you posted on its development.
