Vodafone just scooped planet Earth with the first touchscreen-only Android phone: HTC?s Magic. All the specs look to line up with what was rumored, with a 3.2-inch QVGA screen front and center (that resolution might be a typo, HVGA seems more likely), HDSPA, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera (no flash), and a G1-style trackball. Details on pricing and availability will be unveiled for local Vodafone markets as they see fit, but pricing in Spain will be from 99 to 199 Euro, depending on contract.

One of the chief complaints about Google’s Android is its lack of multitouch support.

Did Google CEO and Apple board member Eric Schmidt knuckle under to Apple on multitouch?
