by Brenda Stokes on September 24, 2008

The T-Mobile G1 was officially announced yesterday and the comparisons to the iPhone started almost as soon as the last executive left the stage.

by Staff Editor on March 14, 2008

If Google's Rich Miner was a developer, he'd be coding for the iPhone; however, he's actually Group Manager for Mobile Platforms, and as such is more interested in boosting Android's profile with confident predictions that handsets based on the platform will wildly outsell Apple's cellphone.
