The Androids Are Coming!
By Dave Peterson | October 22, 2008
Today the the first Android-powered phone, the T-Mobile G1, started shipping. It will be interesting to hear reactions now that it’s in the wild whether this is really an iPhone killer or just a Windows Mobile annoyer. The first software update, addressing bug fixes and enhancements, is due tomorrow, per Engadget.
To give new G1 owners something interesting to do with their phones other than that calling and web browsing stuff, the Android Market also opened, offering over 50 applications on day one. The mix is similar to that on the iPhone’s App Store: Games, travel guides, messaging tools and productivity software are all available. Apps currently are free, but early next year developers will be able to start charging for their software.
If you’ve got a G1, leave a comment and let me know what you think of it.
