As it turns out, the Google Android platform has been enjoying a lot of media attention since the announcement of T-Mobile's G1 and, quite understandable, many developers have already showed great interest in it. Nokia and Motorola seem to plan to develop their own Android phones, while several games for G1 have been announced. We already informed you about Gameloft planning to develop 10 or more Android games – now, companies like Glu Mobile and Namco Networks have announced their first titles for this platform as well.

As far as games are concerned, for the time being, Google's Android phone, T-Mobile's G1, only comes with Bonsai Blast and Pac-Man, because the Android Market will only allow free apps – for now.

Publisher EA Games has announced its interest in the Android platform, with plans to develop some games for it as well. However (there is always a downside to everything), EA will wait until it is able to charge for them to release them. This basically means that, right now, users should not expect FIFA, The Sims, or Spore Origins to come their way.

"EA will support the Android platform, as any platform that can deliver a robust game experience is good for introducing new consumers to mobile games," said a spokesperson for EA, adding that "EA Mobile has elected to wait for the launch of a content billing solution to bring their premier IP to market."

So, by the looks of it, we'll just have to wait some more because, initially, the Android Market will only offer free applications, as already noted above. Until this doesn’t change, it is very unlikely that major companies that usually charge for their products make them available for free just on the phones that are developed on the Android platform.

An indication of how things might turn out could come our way on October 22, when the official release date for T-Mobile's G1 is set. Although the initial impact was very positive, with T-Mobile's website being flooded with preorders, there still are several aspects that will be clarified only upon its release.
