Video: Chinese-made Dream G2 revealed

Android, Android Phones
Ever wonder what would happen if a Palm and Android merged into one phone with elements from each working together? Naturally, such a device as the Dream G2 could only exist in China where “borrowing” from electronic devices is commonplace.
A video showing the Dream G2 — which has no affiliation with HTC or T-Mobile — has been posted to YouTube. The video shows a black mobile phone with Google branding running what appears to be the Android operating system. There are a few peculiar variations on icons, text, and apparent functionality of certain apps shown. The phone also includes a stylus that may be good for pinpoint accuracy; however, after using a G1 for nearly three months, I’ve yet to run into a case of mistakenly pressing the wrong button. For Palm or stylus fans, it may be useful for graffiti or making use of the slim on-screen keyboard depicted in the video.
Examine the hands-on video for yourself and see what this Android-esque device offers.
I dont believe. Are U believe in this?
This is a fake my friend. A Chinese fake. G2 have been made by HTC and wont be called Dream.
It’s not “fake” as the phone is very real. The creator purposely named it the Dream G2 to capitalize off the name and confuse people. This not the rumored G2 phone everyone’s been talking if that’s what you’re referring to.
It doesn’t look like they have done the OS any favours with their re-working of the menus. Perhaps they have had to strip it down to get it working on less grunty hardware.
Nice work on the blog by the way. I’m a regular follower in the UK. Keep up the great work.
My friend Andrew,
This phone was called Google Dream G2, successor of Dream G1. Just read the real title in the video and the abstract. This phone has been made to be fake.
Tiger G2 MTK6225 G-Sensor Smart Phone is another G2 phone from China
