We’ve been hearing intermittent reports that T-Mobile may or may not be sending new, better batteries for owners of juice-deprived G1s in the field, but in the meantime, Seidio has a solution of its own. This 1400mAh battery is rated a full 400mAh higher than the OEM unit, presumably giving you an extra hour or two of Android-powered bliss between charges — and even better, it fits in the same space with no replacement cover needed. .95 sounds steep, but then again, it’s hard to put a price on talk time.

T-Mobile and HTC are clearly Bot. pretty committed to Android — and cheers to that, may we add — but the real question is: is the “G” series a franchise or a one-hit wonder? And if it’s a franchise, just how soon might we see a G2? Logic would suggest that T-Mobile would want to give the G1 a little breathing room before piling on cousins that risk cannibalizing market share, but Cell Phone Signal is claiming we’ll see the G2 next month, and what’s more, the spec sheet reads like a dream: 5-megapixel autofocus primary cam with VGA secondary cam for video calling, full touchscreen, and WiFi — in other words, something like the “Touch HD with Android” that everyone had been hoping for. Come on at this time, video calling? Seriously?
It gets juicier, though. Boy Genius Report has an unconfirmed follow-up rumor citing a tipster that Cell Phone Signal’s spec sheet is basically accurate, but that the launch date’s been pushed back to April. The tipster goes on to say that the device won’t be exclusive to T-Mobile and will be sold elsewhere around the world — though not under the G series branding — and it’ll lack a QWERTY keyboard but maintain the trackball we all know and love / hate from the G1. Oh, and get this: they claim there’s already a G3 in the works, too. Any way you slice it, there are bound to be plenty of Android devices launching around the globe in ‘09, but if this turns out to be even remotely accurate, is it really the right way for T-Mobile to be going about its business?

The T-Mobile G1 is the topic of today’s ‘How Would You Change’ discussion over at Engadget Classic, and given the obvious relevance to the Mobile crowd, we figured it prudent to pass along the link for your perusal. Head on over and drop some knowledge!
