There have been rumors galore about Google’s Android mobile operating system as is the case with any thickly-veiled technology before launch. Another rumor doing the rounds is that T-Mobile USA will soon commercially roll out the world’s first Android-based handset to coincide with its planned extension of 3G services in fall 2008.

Though this is just an ordinary unsubstantiated rumor, T-Mobile might be amongst the first operators to launch an Android phone as it is part of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of different companies that patronizes the Android platform.

Our friends at eWeek are reporting that a T-Mobile spokesperson made them aware of his company’s determination towards launching an Android handset in Q4 2008 – not a confirmation of this rumor. Also, speculation is rife that the first commercially available Android handset might be the HTC Dream. All we can do is wait and watch.
