| Android 1.0 menu |
Android 1.0 was a great first start, but there were still so many gaps in functionality. Physical keyboards and tons of hardware buttons were mandatory, as Android devices were still not allowed to be sold without a d-pad or trackball. Base smartphone functionality like auto-rotate wasn't here yet, either. Updates for built-in apps weren't possible through the Android Market the way they were today. All the Google Apps were interwoven with the operating system.
- The API level of Android 1.0 is Level-1.
Some of the features in this version are:
- The Android Market without paid app feature.
- Gmail, Maps, Calendar integration.
- Included the pull-down notification window.
- Home screen widgets.
- Voice dialer.
- Pattern lock and so on....

| T-Mobile G1 |
The Android 1.0 was launched in the United States in the T-Mobile G1(AKA HTC Dream). T-Mobile G1 was the first Android Phone and it has an incredibly functional Full QWERTY keyboard that slides out horizontally. Its usability is exceptional for heavy emailers and texters. It comes packed with a 3.2MP camera and can hold up to 32GB of memory externally.
If Google wanted to update a single app, an update for the entire operating system needed to be pushed out through the carriers. There was still a lot of work to do. later they released the Android version 1.1.
