Has the IPhone finally met its match?? So the Google Empire birthed its new baby today, the G1 Android phone. Despite its chunky design, the G1 is said to provide better functionality than its sleeker competitors, combining the touch screen of the Iphone, along with the qwerty of the Crackberry, Google hopes to put a dent in the cellphone game. The phone come with a touch-of-a-button-access to all google apps (google maps, gmail etc) and is run on the "Android market", the first open source technology, allowing users to download and upload civilian created mobile applications. Critics believe that this dream phone may have a problem acquiring the cult following of other smart phones i.e Iphone, but only time will tell. I'm willing to give this gadget a try. More updates to follow.
