Google Android Phone Kogan Agora delayed?
Probably a stale news for most of you, the touted second Google Android Phone on the market, Kogan Agora product has been canceled despite having received huge pre-orders. The official statement from Kogan Technologies website states that the Kogan Agora release is delayed indefinitely citing technical issues regarding is screen size and resolution.
Kogan Agora, estimated to be available by Christmas 2008, might not even be ready by this year (2009). Customer who pre-ordered Kogan is being refunded as this article were written.
Its a pity to see such affordable Google Android phone to be delayed indefinitely, while there are a lot of phone manufacturers behind Open Handset Alliance (OHA, the organization that backed Android), we have yet to see other Google Android phone surfaces besides HTC manufactured T-Mobile G1.
As for my personal opinion, I don’t think Android platform is worth investing in right now since the only supported Android phone in the market is the SIM-locked T-Mobile, and although there has been news that Motorola, Huawei and Sony Ericsson are preparing to release Android phone, I don’t think I will give in much hope for Android until I’ve seen on the shelf of my local mobile phone store (SIM-unlocked, just like normal phones that is)
