Google recently unveiled its much awaited mobile phone, aptly name G1. The hardware for this phone is provided by HTC and the OS is of course Google own Android. Android is an Open Source
But even so much of hype around G1 does not seem to create many waves. If you look at G1 and look at the competition i.e. iPhone 3G, the latter wins hands down in looks department and the form factor.
Some reports say that the G1 is slightly bulkier, smaller, thicker than iPhone 3G. Also the colors that the phone is available in Black, white and brown are not so exciting.
I guess, in the music playback department it wont be able to compete with the iPhone. Because the iPhone has a far superior audio output. I seriously doubt HTC can match Apple in the music department.
Although I am not a great fan of iPhone either. I consider it an expensive toy at most. With a price tag of INR 30K +, its not a real value for money. But given a choice between G1 and iPhone, it would be iPhone all the way.
