Android HTC Magic Touchscreen Now Official

The first touch screen Google Android based phone has officially been announced by HTC, and it's called the HTC Magic. 

Sporting a 3.2 inch HVGA touchscreen, HDSPA, GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and a trackball, the Magic is certainly looking to bring as many bells and whistles to the table while it attempts to compete with the iPhone market.  A proprietary headphone jack is perhaps the only let-down of the Magic as it stands, but this has been the case for virtually all HTC phones in recent years. 

Cell service provider Vodafone will be the first to unleash the HTC Magic on European markets, with others service providers to follow after an unannounced Vodafone exclusive period.  North American and Pacific-Asian market release dates have yet to be announced.
