Aww man... Canada sucks when it comes to getting technology!Comment

Woot! Big. Ugly. Only works with gmail for email. HAVE to slide the keyboard out to use the browser! Awesome waste of real estate to zoom in, a little graphic +/- comes up!
And worst, the most inconsistant UI most tech pundits have ever seen! It's like all the apps were designed by different departments who were not allowed to talk with each other.
It will get better, it's very 1.0, very raw. But it's doing nothing to excite me at the moment.Comment

The Android source code was also released. So expect to see this running, fully functional on many other existing devices really soon.
I believe that T-Mobile claim to have presold over 1,000,000 of these G1s, which is an HTC phone. That's a nice number to start things off.
There are already a number of apps in development. A few iPhone developers cloning their apps for deployment on the platform.Comment

Nice phone with nice OS? Yes
I-Phone killer? Hell no!
Plus which phone is the average person going to buy?
HTC G1 with OpenSource geeky Android OS or the silky smooth Iphone (hey this is an ipod phone.. cool)?
Its a nice try tho.. Now lets throw it on the pile with the Ipaqs and BlackBerrys..
Oh lil edit..
If i'm a developer I would spend my expensive $$ time developing for iphone thats for sure even tho its not opensource and blabla but hey the coolest stuff also comes out to windows not linux so no change there..
So im not to worried. Im all set with my iphone..Last edited by ro8in; 10-22-2008, 02:35 PM.------

Really? One of the nicest features?
I mean, it works, but there is so many more compelling things.
Anyway to answer your question, Google will compete with it with...an app store.
But it actually creates an interesting thing.
You don't need to put it on the app store. You can host it on your site. Link people to it, they download and install it.
No control. No checking it won't break your phone.
I can see that causing one or two tiny teeny problems.
I mean, in many ways its much better. Much better. Anyone can make anything. I'v ehad the BEST idea for a porn app for the iphone, would be easy and go viral in hours. Hoever, Steve won't allow porn on the iphone, so it won't get into the store, so I can't make it for the iphone.
I could for the G1. I could host it. People could download and install it.
That is kinda better.
But the loss of control and the problems that creates might outweigh the good things. Have to wait for the first malicious apps to come out I guess...Comment

They ALL complained about the lack of cut and paste, but the main issues they all brought up were with ATT. So really, none of them hated the phone.
I'm just a bitter (but still very happy) Sprint customer.

So its a big deal to spend a tenth of a second to open the keyboard up and then smoke the iphone on words per minute. Its not big and ugly, its smaller than the Iphone and it looks like a chocolate bar.Woot! Big. Ugly. Only works with gmail for email. HAVE to slide the keyboard out to use the browser! Awesome waste of real estate to zoom in, a little graphic +/- comes up!

As I understand it, it can't do stereo bluetooth and has no headphone jack, so you can only listen to your music in mono. Anyone know if that's true? If so, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference for its use as a phone / browser, but if you want to replace an iPod, it might be an issue.Comment

Well done on finding two points out of my long list to come back on.
However, you are sadly horribly wrong on the size issue.
There are many faults with the iPhone, so pick one that is at least true if you want to bash it (lack of cut and paste, shit camera, etc).
iPhone
Dimensions: 4.5" x 2.4" x 0.46" Weight 4.8 ounces
G1
Dimensions - 4.60? x 2.16? x 0.62?; Weight: 5.6 ouncesComment
