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.
How the fuck is that offtopic?
Does some mod have a beef against jsharkey or something?
(disclaimer - I don't know who jsharkey is, but posting links to free Android apps is offtopic?)

Let me explain this in very simple economic terms. Right now lots of people produce widgets, but Apple has made a Super Widget. Well they are the only big production makers of the Super Widget at the moment so they get to control the field. This isn't monopoly, this is normal economics. Now, Android, OpenMoko, and so on are gearing up to also build Super Widgets. This means there will be competition in the Super Widget sector. Competition means that ALL of the Super Widget makers are going to have to work harder to make their Super Widget the Super Widget of choice. This benefits everyone. Even as an iPhone owner I am happy that these things are picking up steam because of this.
We don't have fast computers simply because science has made it so. We have fast computers on the shelves and in our homes because the people selling computers always need a way to edge ahead of the competitions sales. This is why AMD redid their whole naming for their processors because people assumed lower clock speed = slower.
The only change I can believe in is what I find in my couch cushions.
fer heck's sake... the screen slides UP to reveal the keyboard...
