The US Federal Communications Commission has approved the use of Dream, the first smart phone in the United States which will run the Android operating system from Google.

On Monday, the FCC posted certification documentation on its website clearing the use of the smart phone titled Dream in the United States. The certification has also paved the way for T-Mobile to begin selling the device as early as next month. T-Mobile is the fourth largest wireless carrier in the United States.

The new smart phone will be powered by the much-hyped operating system Android, from Google. With this significant step, Google will be able to expand its reach beyond the realm of personal computers and announce its definitive presence into the mobile network. The launch of the smart phone carrying Google’s mobile Web application has been touted by company executives as being crucial to the promotion of its products to a global market besides holding the key to the company’s growth plans.

For some time now HTC, one of the largest mobile phone makers in the world, had been developing the first smart phone which would use Google’s mobile web software. This would enable users to access the Internet on their mobiles and carry out complex functions hitherto performed by the personal computer.
