Until this summer, U.S. consumers interested in owning an Android-powered cellphone were limited to T-Mobile’s G1. But the Google operating system is appearing in a slew of new handsets by HTC, Samsung, LG and Motorola.

HTC Tattoo, one of the cellphone maker’s new Android-powered devices
The specs for Samsung’s newest Android phone, the I5700 Galaxy Lite,
leaked in an online video that made its way around the Web Tuesday. The lower-cost, touch-screen device will have 1 GB of memory and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Its predecessor, the Galaxy I7500, also running Android, has 8 GB of memory and a five-megapixel camera. It launched in Europe over the summer.
Also Tuesday, HTC introduced its fourth Android mobile phone, the Tattoo, which will be available in Europe in October. The Tattoo, like the recently unveiled Hero, will use HTC’s Sense interface to allow subscribers to personalize their home screen, and features a 3.2-megapixel camera and a 2.8-inch touch screen. Sprint begins selling the Hero at its stores and Best Buy locations on Oct. 11, but the Tattoo won’t reach the U.S. for a few more months.
Attendees of the IFA conference in Berlin were able to catch a glimpse of LG’s Etna Android, a phone with a sliding full keyboard, a three-inch touch screen and a 5-megapixel camera.
There’s more Android to come. At the Mobilize conference in San Francisco, Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha is expected to introduce the company’s first Android phone, and last week, T-Mobile said it would sell HTC’s Pulse. The phone is T-Mobile’s third Android phone and the first prepaid one, and will be available in the United Kingdom in October.
