A la mobile a software developer unveils a suite of applications – browser, camera, games and more – based on Android.

A la mobile is a start-up dedicated to Linux-based “open” systems for mobile devices, says the demonstration proves that Android can deliver on its promise of making it easier for consumers to get access to all sorts of applications.

The open nature of Android means, “There can be a lot more customization, reducing the cost of devices as well as development time,” says Pauline Lo Alker, A La Mobile’s CEO.

A La Mobile installed its applications on a smartphone from HTC, the Qtek 9090. They include: a Google (GOOG) browser, phone dialer for making voice calls, audio player, Google maps, camera, games, calendar, contacts manager, calculator and notes. A La Mobile plans to pitch this prototype – a first for Android, according to Alker – to handset makers.
