T-Mobile VP – myTouch 3G Getting Android 2.1 and Sense UI

As a little double bonus, T-Mobile’s VP of product innovation Andrew Sherrard told Techland that they are currently testing the Android 2.1 update for the original myTouch 3G internally.  On top of that little tid-bit of news, he stated that it will feature a UI much like the myTouch Slide and even have a “Genius Button” as well.  This seems a little surprising to me.  The original myTouch 3G has only 192MB of RAM and it would be a surprise if it was able to handle a heavy UI load like the one found on the Slide.  However, the original article didn’t state it would be exactly the same, just match it.  Possibly it’s a middle ground build of the UI, with some elements missing.  However, if I’m wrong then yea!  Let’s hope the testing goes well and T-Mobile makes an announcement sooner than later.
