T-mobile. being the very first carrier to bring Android to US shores knows a thing or two about it. From the G1, MyTouch, Motorola Cliq and the forthcoming Behold 2, T-mobile is rolling in Android goodness. T-mobile CTO Cole Brodman, with whom we are beginning to closely associate all things T-mobile and Android spoke at the Open Mobile Summit in San Francisco today. Discussing T-mobile�s Android commitment Brodman shared some statistics regarding the Android Market:
* About 50% of MyTouch users visit the Android Market at least once per day.
* Nearly 50% of myTouch users say they have �completely customized� their myTouch.
* More than 40% of myTouch users access social networking sites multiple times per day.
* 80% of myTouch users browse the web at least once per day, and 2/3 say several times per day.
Noticing all of stats reflect the MyTouch, we believe that�s due to the MyTouch being billed as the Flagship Android phone for 2009.
The Android market has grown significantly since T-mobile launched the G1 last October from 50 applications to more than 12,000 today. T-mobile is interested in showing a continued and increased commitment in the Android game by helping customers discover the Android market in a new light.
In order to better to serve up a better customer experience T-mobile is aiming to improve the market experience:
* With the introduction of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, T-Mobile created T-Mobile AppPack on Android Market, which features select 3rd party and T-Mobile made apps. T-Mobile recently refreshed AppPack with new, suggested applications � 34 apps in all, including a mix of free and paid apps.
* Later this month, the company will take this a step further by introducing a T-Mobile Channel on Android Market (that will be live by Thanksgiving), and Android Market (including the T-Mobile Channel) will soon feature carrier billing making it easier and more streamlined for customers with T-Mobile Android devices to purchase their favorite applications.
