Greg Kumparak of TechCrunch reports that Vodafone announced HTC Magic - a mobile phone powered by Android operating system.
HTC Magic is positioned to become the second Android-based mobile phone to hit the market after T-Mobile G1. The phone will initially ship in a number of European countries this spring.
Feature-wise the phone is similar to G1 barring the keyboard, which it doesn't have. My guess is the phone targets the "Cupcake" release of Android that supports on-screen or "soft" keyboard.
Android applications are written in a Java dialect that provides richer functionality as compared to the traditional Java ME technology. The organic growth of Android ecosystem is crucial for the continued success of Java in the mobile space.
