- Japanese startup, Yuuguu, has integrated its free Web-Ex style screen-sharing collaboration service technology with instant messaging clients MSN, Yahoo, AOL, GTalk and ICQ.
- Users are now able to share screens, hold web conferences and work collaboratively with anyone using any combination of these major IM platforms. (Maximum of 30 people)
- Such as other services, the only person that needs to download the Web Conferencing package is the one hosting the event, all others can access via a simple link.

Hyped to be the most open platforms for a mobile phone we have seen yet, there certainly seems to be many ‘closed’ restrictions. Here is a quick outline.
- Instand Messaging/ Voip
- As Om point’s out, Google GTalk will launch as the default IM client, but no VoIP will be supported through it. TMoblie will allow third party VoIP apps to work over Wi-Fi, but no 3G support
- Marketplace
- Google will be approving applications to the the Android Marketplace much the same as Apple has done with the ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent’ approach.
- Tethering:
- TMobile will not be allowing Tethering for computers to connect and go online.
- Bandwidth:
- Although TMobile claims that for $25 a month, you will get the unlimited data plan ($35 for unlimited text), they will slow down your data sessions to 50 kbps after 1GB of use.
- 3G Coverage
- 3G connectivity will only be available for certain cities for the rollout. Check out their coverage map here.
- Design
- The phone design supposedly not changed in 2.5 years. What does that say about the ability for handsets to adapt to the OS?
- Email
- No exchange support. Must have a gmail account to even activate the phone.
