Full Review of the T-Mobile G1 Android Device

palmsolo writes "Want to see the biggest and most in-depth review of the T-Mobile G1 Google Android device from a person who has been using it for a week? Check out over 260 photos and 5 videos of the device and just about every screen of the Google Android OS. Find out how well HTC, T-Mobile and Google did with this first-generation device." I played with one for a few minutes and found it a solid unit. It feels less polished than the iPhone, but the screen and keyboard are great. It'll be a real test of Open Source to see what happens with the iPhone App Store's closed system vs. Android's open one.

Hopefully Apples appstore....

Will change its crappy policies once the Android app store, and hell, even the blackberry app like store becomes more popular, and developers just stop making apps for the iphone because all the red tape and apples tendency to yank anything actually useful.

I found this article on the FCC website that I thought was interesting:

"Operating such [white space] devices on the adjacent channel causes interference with digital television & $40 coupon, government-subsidized digital-to-analog converters. WSD operating at 100 milliwatts would cause interference in 84% of the television viewing area." We need to stop these Androids before they cause further harm.
