50 apps for the UK

The T-Mobile G1 makes its European debuts this week on Thursday October 30th and we now know that 50 apps will be available for free to download on Android Market.

That's a bit less than for the American release but some of the best apps will be there. ShopSavvy, which lets you scan a barcode to see a listing of all the prices for this particular product will make it just in time to start some Christmass shopping.

Another cool app that will be available is Shazam. It finds out a song title, album and artist for you. However, we have no seen imeem Mobile in the listings, let's hope that it will soon be available too.

Here's what Jim Hyde, CEO of T-Mobile UK, said:

"T-Mobile is committed to opening up the internet to give customers the freedom to do whatever they want online, when the internet has no boundaries it drives innovation and the T-Mobile G1 and the Android platform is designed to do just that. The open nature of Android Market has already sparked an exciting range of applications which allow customers to tailor their phone to suit their lifestyle. We're really excited to be able to offer the first 50 applications free of charge and believe the T-Mobile G1 has the potential to revolutionise the way we use and view our phones."
