The T-Mobile G1, released on October 22, 2008, in the United States, was the first smartphone to run on Android 1.0. Manufactured by HTC, it featured a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a physical QWERTY keyboard. Although specs seemed modest compared to modern standards, the G1 was a critical device that demonstrated the potential of the Android platform.
