Take a look at this Magic trick. We are talking about this phone that closely resembles the Magic. But look closer and you will yourself understand that it is indeed not the Magic, after all.
The self-proclaimed follow-up to HTC’s G1 is a complete fake – and this very duplicate is parading around on eBay for the dirt cheap price of $122.99. Granted, that doesn’t buy you an HTC logo, Android or 3G, but hey, you just might end up impressing a few not-so-well-informed folk around town! Of course, the choice of purchasing or rejecting this one is entirely yours – we do not quite recommend it, though.

A few T-Mobile G1 users from the Android Community forum have reportedly received the latest cupcake updates from T-Mobile UK. The over-the-air updates are about 44MB in size and will update the Android to version 1.5. There are also many others in UK did not receive these update notifications yet, but should be getting the same by end May.
The new Android 1.5 is adding a soft QWERTY keyboard to allow text input via the touchscreen. It will also add the ability to upload photo / video directly to Picasa and YouTube from the G1 device.

After weeks of waiting, T-Mobile’s officially stated that the “Cupcake” Android update will be coming to the G1 sometime in April this year. That means, there is only one month for this to happen. This update will help Android handset users to get an onscreen keyboard plus many other useful features to improve the performance of the handset that was launched last November.
The new features the G1 update will provide are voice and video recorder, the ability to save MMS attachments and stereo Bluetooth. We suspect this update will possibly come at the same time as the HTC Magic, which will also contain the “cupcake” software, but T-Mobile refused to comment on the same.
There have been enough lags and snags about this whole issue and we are hoping they get it right this time round.
