I saw my first add for T-Mobile’s G1 yesterday. The Google Android based phone has it’s own site<\/a> now. On T-Mobile’s site you can currently buy one<\/a> for $179 after a $200 rebate. (How do you give a rebate for your own hardware?) Last week Google officially liberated<\/a> the source code. Here are some other pre release opinions<\/a>. So now that it is live, how does it compare to the iPhone? Well, it sacrifices some size to a real keyboard that would be helpful to those that text a lot I am sure. Inclusion of a microSD is a great plus, but it appears to be limited to 8gig. The phone is still sim locked<\/a>, and doesn’t appear to have a sync application. This is interesting. It is dependent on, and expects you to use Gmail and other Google apps. I am not sure I like this. I haven’t drunk the Google cool aid yet. I have a gmail account, but I still like desktop apps. If I could get my address book, calendar and mail to sync with Google’s offerings, then maybe it would work. Maybe I just need to give into the idea of cloud computing more. I think I will stand back and see how the next few months play out. The platform being more open than Apple’s should allow developers to create some interesting things. It will be worth watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
