The Dream comes pre-loaded with a new Amazon.com application that gives customers easy access to Amazon MP3 digital music store with more than 6 million DRM-free tracks. Using the new application, customers are able to search, sample, purchase and download music from Amazon MP3 directly to their device, much like the iTunes store on iPhone. Whether this feature would be available in India is, however, a different question.

The G1/Dream also comes with the Android Marketplace (Google’s answer to the App Store), so you can start loading up all sorts of third-party applications. The difference is that Android being a much more open operating system, developers can allow their applications to run in the background even while you are running an OS application.
So the wait is on once more for an Indian launch. Whether the G1/Dream will be launched in all its open source glory and whether we will have a 3G network to run it on , only time will tell.
