Android is set on grabbing the number two spot in the smartphone market by 2012 and the Samsung I7500 Galaxy might be the type of phone to get it there. Perhaps less for the Galaxy at this point, and more for the Samsung, but we’ll see about that.
The I7500 Galaxy is a “Google experience” phone, and has the intrinsic advantage of having the search giant’s infrastructure behind its back. For one, YouTube and Picasa integration sure add value to the 5-megapixel camera.
And as to people who spend their time digging around the Internet for oft hard to find information, we really appreciate the improved search widget. And that thingy is about to get better – Android is a bit like Google’s other projects, a perpetual work in progress that keeps getting new features and polishes the occasional rough edges.
The I7500 Galaxy is the company’s first take on Android but if we put the OS aside, it should be a solid Samsung touchscreen with all the gadgetry we’ve got used to in smartphones. Of course, the Android platform still has a few issues to address and get some annoying limitations out of the way. Let’s see what this here Android by Samsung can do for you and where it might fail.
