Hey presto! It's the second Android phone, pulling out some fresh tricks thanks to a new version of Google's mobile OS. Aside from custom menus and downloadable apps,
Android now has speedier browsing, video recording and Bluetooth. The Magic is lighter, thinner, and has cleaner lines than the first Android phone - the T-Mobile G1. There's no slide-out keypad,
but a magical touchscreen and intuitive text system ably handles typing errors. It's a great mobile, flexing fantastic technology. For its next trick, watch it try to make iPhone sales go piff paff
poof.
