The G1 Android phone: Google’s gamechanger E-mail

Google and T-Mobile are clearly going to enjoy just under a month’s worth of added hype and excitement before the G1 launches, while plenty of developers are no doubt seeing just how popular iPhone apps are and how that popularity could easily transfer to the G1.

While the programming languages are different, successful iPhone developers would be crazy to ignore the G1’s potential.

Handheld computers and smartphones have been with us for years, but never have they been more powerful, nor their future as bright.

Despite a raft of Google apps already being available for competing phones and platforms, those who curiously say the G1 isn’t “iPhone exciting” are short changing Google and its gamechanging capabilities.

The battle between the G1, the iPhone, Windows Mobile, the Nokia N96, the BlackBerry and other smartphones this Christmas/end-of-year/holiday shopping season will be fascinating to watch, with each offering better features, benefits and capabilities than ever before.

While 2008 has been an amazing year for handheld computers and smartphones as it is, the way things are going, 2009 and the fight to be the consumer’s choice will be an even bigger battle still, with consumers the ultimate winners from this frenzy of technological competition.

But until all of that happens, the G1 has to launch first. That happens on October 22, in the midst of Nokia’s massive campaign to promote the N96, and the chance that a 32GB iPhone 3G makes an appearance.

More G1 gPhone news as it happens – this is one tech topic you can definitely expect to hear a lot more about.
