It looks like Android is slowly expanding its footprint. The word is that Australia and Singapore will both be getting the HTC Dream (same exact device as our T-Mobile G1) sometime in the near future. The Australian HTC Dream will run on the Australian Carrier Optus and the Singapore version will launch on Singtel. Basically, you'll be getting all the flavors of the G1 just under a different moniker. After all, it is Android.

If you are Down Under and are anxious to get your Android groove on, you won't have to wait too much longer. Online retailer Kogan will be selling the Android-based "Agora" on January 29, 2009 and is accepting pre-orders NOW right here. There are two versions: the basic model costs $299, while the Pro version (which includes Wi-Fi, a camera and GPS) is $399.

No G1 in Australia? No problem says Kogan Technologies. According to Android Guys, Kogan is going to build their own Android device that is supposed to be "iPhone inspired" with a touchscreen, keyboard, trackball, wifi, bluetooth, and GPS. All for the low, low price of $199.
