Android-powered T-Mobile G1, dissected
The Nikkei Electronics Teardown Squad started publishing their findings of the HTC-manufactured T-Mobile G1 tear down. G1 runs the Google Android software stack. Interesting findings:
- The antenna is a spirally-cut, black-painted, 0.2mm-thick aluminum foil attached to the chassis.
- Made in Japan: The main board is made by Panasonic; the digital compass is based on a magnetometric sensor by Asahi Kasei EMD Corp.
- The tackball is the same as the one used by RIM for the BlackBerry devices
