iPhone Killer?!: Google's G1 Phone




If anyone has been paying attention Google has slowly been taking over the world. Their next form of domination, cellular phones. To battle the iPhone google is releasing its first mobile phone, the G1. The G1 will be released October 22nd on the T-Mobile network. The phone will operate on the "Android" OS system, made by google and sport a variety of features. Wifi, a 3 MP camera, google maps with street view, something that no iPhone currently has, and a QWERTY keyboard which is hidden under the 3.17" sliding screen. There are some setbacks such as no video playback or video recording, it's a little on the bulky side, and the music player is nowhere as good as the music player on the iPhone. The beauty of the phone though is its operating system and the possibilities of customization. The Google made "Android" OS system is an open source system where other programmers can create their own programs and features for the phone, such as a better music player and video compatibility. We'll have to just wait and see if the G1 will be able to dethrone the iPhone. (._.)
