New T-Mobile gadgets to sport Google software-NYT
April 6 (Reuters) - Wireless carrier T-Mobile is planning an aggressive push into the home with a variety of communication devices that will use Google (NASDAQ: GOOG - news) 's new Android operating software, the New York Times (NYSE: NYT - news) said.
According to the paper, confidential documents obtained from a company partner indicate that T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telecom AG, plans to sell a home phone early next year and a tablet computer soon after, both running Android.
A T-Mobile spokesman, Peter Dobrow, declined to discuss any future company products but confirmed plans for several devices based on Android, the paper said.
The Android operating system, already run on a T-Mobile cellphone, handles basic functions for mobile devices and competes with operating systems made by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL - news) , Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT - news) , Nokia (Xetra: 870737 - news) and others.
T-Mobile and Google could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters.
