I precisely had to say thanks again. I do not know the things I would’ve sorted out in the absence of the suggestions provided by you directly on that area. It was before a alarming setting in my circumstances, nevertheless seeing a new specialized mode you treated the issue forced me to leap for gladness. I’m happier for the support and as well , hope that you are aware of a great job you happen to be undertaking training many people using a web site. I am certain you’ve never got to know any of us.

We’ve got space in our hearts for Apple AND Google ;)

HERE! HERE!! D!! THE G1 HASN’T EVEN CAME OUT YET AND IT IS ALREADY BEING CRITICIZED. I HAD THE FIRST MODEL OF THE IPHONE AND I RETURNED IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT OF ALL THE CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND IT COULDN’T EVEN TAKE VIDEO!!! I THOUGHT THAT WAS DUMB. BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU USE IT FOR. I USED IT ALSO FOR TEXTING AND I THOUGHT IT ALSO SUCKED, BUT OTHER PEOPLE CAN MOVE THEIR THUMBS WITH MORE PRECISION THAN I CAN. I ALSO HAVE BULKY THUMBS AND MAYBE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. BUT I THINK WE ALL SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE RELEASE DATE FOR THE G1, BEFORE WE CAN START JUDGING.

I am excited by the Android platform, but to compare it to the iPhone is, I think, a little misguided. The iPhone is a marriage of software and hardware, which means that every developer knows exactly what they are shooting for when they design a piece of software. The G1 doesn’t have multi-touch, but it is mooted for future editions of Android; it has a certain processor and GPU that isn’t standard to all Android phones; the UI and structure of Android will be unrecognisable from model to model as the commercial and independent community get to grips with it and modify it. Developers will find themselves in the same position as WM and Palm developers and cater largely for the lowest common denominator. I can see a future where different Android ‘distros’ are competing with each other as well as the other systems.

I have had an original iPhone since the day it was released in the US and traded up to the 3G on its release day, and I think Apple has made good progress, not withstandiing copy and paste. Steve Jobs understands that stability and reliability are more important than features, though the iPhone has always had plenty of the latter. That’s why, I as a customer appreciate Apple’s control over the phone. If Android or its controlling telcom allows a free for all by developers it will be a disaster.

I wrote about this very issue in my blog at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/was-steve-jobs-right-with-iphone-10/

Android is not as open as you suggest. You can be sure that T-Mobile will reject any app that conflicts with its business model.

Malware is only one of the issues. How about wireless sync and ease of use? How about the cost of the extra memory? The iPhone includes 8Gig at $199, how much is that extra 8Gig going to cost? A search reveals that they cost a good $30, so that puts the G1 over the $199. So why would I pay more for the G1, than for the iPhone?

It makes no sense.

What do you mean by “limited GPS” on the iPhone 3G, when at this point, there is no turn by turn directions for EITHER? Why does the G1 get “GPS” as the descriptor, while the 3G gets “a limited GPS function”?

3g. 20 markets for G1 and 200 for iPhone 3g which AT&T is aggressively expanding. Thats a big difference you left out.

isnt the multi touch interface patented?

How come Google didn’t call for an expensive multi touch screen like the iPhone has? Everything Apple has is going multi touch despite the expense as it is cutting edge.

The only thing cutting edge about the G Phone is that new OS and unrestricted attitude that will allow every Tom and Dick to write malware and viruses just to screw with the gullible just like Microsoft Windows allows.

The G1 is so yesterday with its cheap touch screen and ugly graphics which remind you of Windows mobile. The only favorable mention is a cheap keyboard for those that want to type a novel on a telephone.

Does the G1 have an expensive tempered glass screen that is bullet proof to scratches or is it a chap plastic one that scratches as soon as you open it up? This is the type of device that begs for thick screen protectors as most PDAs and smartphones built to date.

What no earphone or firewire port? You have to plug in a USB adapter to attach an earphone? By the time you buy all the addons like a memory card that pops into a toaster like port (beware it doesn’t pop out when you aren’t looking) your wallet will be wondering what hit it.

The G Phone will eventually come out on top as it will be the mass market OS for cheap phones from the urban getto to the modern cities of the third world displacing Symbian and Windows Mobile.

Too many nagging popup windows on your site. Will not get back to your site. This is really too much.
