Apple Schmapple. For us, the most revolutionary (and we mean that) technology company of the last few years has been Google. Fair enough, Apple have brought a whole lot of style, to the table, and have increased for the better people’s expectations when it comes to what they should get for their money when it comes to consumer electronics, but Google have actually changed the way we live. No question about it.
And with the i7500, all that they’ve done is about to hit your palm and pocket in a handy mobile phone shape. The HTC Magic splashed down a little while before this thing, but with little more than a gentle ripple created, we’re happy to ignore it and say that it’s the Samsung i7500 that’s going to create the first real Android wave so far. Just look at all the Google lovliness that your fingers could be flipping between come the launch of this thing:
- Google Maps – Integrated GPS receiver enables comprehensive use of features such as My Location, Google Latitude, Street View, local searches and detailed route descriptions
- Gmail
- YouTube
- Google Calendar
- Google Talk
- Hundreds of other apps via Android Market
We for one (or we for several, as it were), use every single one of those things on a daily basis, and the fact that the Samsung i7500 is going to bring all those onto our phones in a non-shoddy makeshift way makes us happier than you can imgine. The future is here, it’s in our pocket, and we’re damned excited about it. Check out a full rundown of the phone’s other features in this Samsung i7500 review, or have a little look at this video below.
