Problems with Android may push HTC’s “GPhone” to next year

According to a recent report from Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry, HTC’s first phone for Google’s upcoming mobile OS, Android might be delayed until next year. The problems seem to stem from from “structural problems” for adding features that Google wants in the phone. Chowdry seems to think HTC is nervous about the overall possibilities of success for Android. The phone is suspected to be the HTC Dream, which many believed would be released in October first for T-Moblie USA, though the date may be slipping into next year.

Android problems seem to have been popping up a lot recently, which isn’t a very good sign. The SDK is reported to not be updated very frequently, compared to the large amount of updates the iPhone SDK has had since it’s release. The fact that there are so many other mobile operating systems out there, it isn’t very surprising. The iPhone has a lot of apps in the App Store with more coming everyday, Windows Mobile also has a lot of apps, the BlackBerry is so widely spread, and Nokia’s Symbian has a fairly large community base. An open source mobile OS would be cool, and Google has a lot of partners for Android, but it just doesn’t seem to be going well so far.
