For the same price, are consumers going to chose the G1 simply because it?s open? My feelings about Android are very similar to John?s: it?s a platform that I had high hopes for, but very low expectations. If Google had offered a phone of this caliber for free, with occasional location-based ?notification ads? informing me that I was 2 minutes away from Domino"

Highlights include that it doesn?t do any sort of desktop syncing; it syncs only with Google servers. It costs $179 and requires a contract with T-Mobile, so it?s only $20 cheaper than an iPhone.
