T-Mobile removes embarrassing mistake from its website

Windows Mobile HTC HD2 will not have Android Market

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... you can't get fooled again."

 A mistake on T-Mobile's website yesterday had many tech sites convinced that the incoming HTC HD2 Windows Mobile handset would have access to the Android Market app store.

While it seems absolutely ludicrous that these two smartphone behemoths would join forces to see Android apps sold on a WinMo platform, some reports suggested it could be a reality.

A quick call from T3 to T-Mobile's PR agency today unearthed that the post was a mistake from the network provider that would be hastily pulled from its website, although no official comment would be made.

While offering Android apps would prove a massive boost to the WinMo platform, the company has its own big plans, having recently launched the Windows Marketplace for Mobile alongside update 6.5. 

2010 will see the release of Windows Mobile 7, which the company hopes will do for its much-maligned mobile OS what Windows 7 has done for its PC platform after the disaster of Vista.

HTC's Peter Chou last week said the company was pledging full support to Windows Mobile and would not be offering the HTC HD2 on the Android OS.
