In case you needed yet another reason to nerd out with Android developers for a couple days in scenic San Francisco, here’s a doozy: every attendee is getting hooked up with an unlocked HTC Magic in black plus 30 days of voice and 3G data service. While the carrier isn’t specified, we certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being T-Mobile, which would make this an AWS version of the phone — and a probable precursor to the presumed myTouch 3G release (or whatever they end up calling it) later this year. In the meantime, I/O attendees — and yes, that includes you, Ross Miller — we hate you out of sheer, raging envy.
Update: Confirmed — it’s a T-Mobile SIM, hence AWS 3G!
Update 2: It seems Google is calling this phone the “Ion,” but make no mistake, it’s an HTC Magic.
