“The G1 is the HTC dream running Google’s open source
Android phone OS. The fact it’s open source is a huge advantage for
this offering because it means that anyone can create applications
for it, not just the ones that Google approves of, and those
applications in turn are usually open source, creating a huge open
source eco-system. This could result in some very interesting
interactions between applications, the different parts of the phone
and even other phones running Android. It includes a keyboard,
which is a big advantage for some people. It kicks up the camera to
3.2 MP, decent as cell phones go. In the coolness department, the
G1 offers a customizable home screen and street view GPS for simple
directions, especially on foot.”
