The T-Mobile G1: Almost perfect




From CrunchGear -

The recent introduction of the iPhone 3G and the follow-up launch of the T-Mobile G1 appear to define an epic paradigm shift with mobile phones now accepted as small computers. The G1 is particular offers a platform for multiple amazing things, all arrayed to the user in a non-trivial way. It is the future smartphone. It is where Symbian should have been two years ago and it’s the wall Windows Mobile will slam into in the next year. If it becomes popular, Google will essentially connect all of us (and control all of our inputs and outputs). If it fails it will encourage a new group of geeks to build upon it, turning Android into something like BSD to Apple’s OS X. Either way, it’s a win win for everyone.

The caveat is now educating and convincing casual smartphone users that this and an Android phone (and what it offers) is what they want.
