Kogan ‘Indefinitely’ Delays Android Phone Launch
Jan 16, 2009 at 11:52am ET by Greg Sterling
Austrialian electronics maker Kogan Technologies has said it is “indefinitely” delaying what was an imminent launch of the second Android phone in Australia, because of technology compatibility issues. According to the Kogan Blog:
The Agora did reach a very late stage of development. Manufacturing had commenced and it was a matter of days from being shipped to you. However, it now seems certain the Agora in it’s current form will limit its compatibility and interoperability in the near future.
One of the potential issues is the screen size and resolution. It seems developers will be creating applications that are a higher resolution than the Agora is currently capable of handling.
It appears a kind of amazing misstep to be so far along and have to scrap the phone — perhaps a result of poor communication along the line somewhere.
A host of other handset OEMs, including Samsung, Lenovo, Motorola, among others, have said they’re building Android phones for release this year (at some point). Until that time we still have only the one G1, from T-Mobile, which has recently been somewhat upstaged by the new Palm Pre.
