Behold the Amazing Circle Zoom of the G2 Phone!
Did ya catch the circus announcer’s tone from the headline? Check out the following video from CNET, which shows some of the new features coming with the HTC Magic handset.

What Are You Looking Forward to With Cupcake?
That’s right, Cupcake with a capital “C”, and not because it was in the title! That’s how certain we are that Cupcake is coming this April. Call us the Kevin Rose of Android.

HTC Magic Headed To China!
The Lenovo oPhone was/is slated for a Chinese release - we know that. But for Chinese Android fans who had that on their wish list, the HTC Magic might replace it in the very near future.
