A La Mobile is a small software
developer dedicated to Linux-based platforms and open source technology. However,
it was today that this virtually unknown start-up began to make history, as the small
company unveiled today the very first suit of applications based on the brand
new Google-endorsed operating system, Android.
The company chose to install its
applications on a smart mobile phone made by HTC, the Qtek 9090. The suite of
applications includes a Google browser, Google maps, an audio player, a phone
dialer for making voice calls, calendar, games, camera, contacts manager,
notes, calculator, and others. A La Mobile claimed this is the first Android
prototype and it has plans to pitch the suite to mobile phone makers.
A La Mobile also said that the prototype
it unveiled on Monday proved that Google’s Android can deliver on its promise
of making it easier for cell phone users to get access to all kinds of
applications on their handsets.
HTC, the company that created the
first smart phone to host Android, is one of the 34 companies in Google’s Open
Handset Coalition. However, A La Mobile is not part of the Coalition.
