Everything You Wanted To Know About the G1
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 16 2008 - 23 viewsEverything you wanted to know, and probably some stuff you would never have thought about. Mat Miller over at ZDnet blogs literally shows off every feature of the G1, in one of the most thorough device reviews I’ve ever seen
. 
Out of the box first thoughts: I spent a couple of hours with the device in New York at the launch event so I wasn’t really surprised by the hardware of the G1. However, without the security tether attached to the device I was able to get a better feel for the device in your hand and overall construction quality.
If there’s anything you didn’t want to know about the G1 or Android OS, don’t hit up the link.

With about a week to go till the aforementioned availability of the T-mobile G1 Android phone, things are hotting up. It looks like pre ordered G1 units are on the move, according to Phandroid. How they got this info out of UPS I wouldn’t know.
Just a quick heads up for anyone who pre-ordered their T-Mobile G1 to check the UPS Website for a tracking number and shipping date. At least 2 readers have contacted us saying they have shipping information today and that the shipping method is via 3-day… meaning you could receive your T-Mobile G1 as early as the 17th and definitely by the 21st.
The G1 is already circulating though, and of course some of the bigger sites are already getting real hands on time/review units to help muster buyers for the in store release of the first Google phone. Both Engadget and Gizmodo, have detailed reviews of the G1 posted today, which are not uncomplimentary, but point to the fact that the OS is a first release and will probably need some work.
The G1 phone and the Android operating system are not finished products. There are only three working Google App’s here—Gmail, Maps and Calendar—while Google Docs, Google News, Google Reader, Google Shopping, Google Images, Google Video, Blogger and Picasa are nowhere to be found. What’s the deal? gizmodo
Looks like people are going to have to wait for a complete Google experience on the platform, a bit like bender not functioning until he’s had a few beers!

Android confirmed, Visits London!
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Sep 17 2008 - 13 views
Apparently the official announcement is looming, scheduled for September twenty third, The Android will officially emerge at a T-mobile event.
Over at Android community, it looks like they’re packing their bags and gearing up for the big event. Now some may say it’s a monster emerging, many have told me the available apps for Android are … lacklustre at the most, the enthusiasm with which many have met the iPhone SDK, primarily as a money maker, for an already established device, dwarves the development reaction, for the, until now, rumoured Google phone. It’s like comparing Godzilla to a skink.
Now we’ve had an inkling that this was coming, and an idea of what the device will look like, but Google itself decided to trot out the OS early in London, for European consumption. The images of the unbranded phone/device do look something like this, but the subterfuge will be over next Wednesday, and I’ll be able to go back to my knitting undisturbed.

HTC Dream… or your worst nightmare?
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 31 2008 - 64 views
Now I don’t know if it’s the leopard skin background, or the fact that this is probably the ugliest HTC device that I’ve seen in a long time, you’d have to assume that the OS makes up for it. The aforementioned specs for the Dream, let’s face it, were not super, as far as the current batch of HTC devices go.
More info has come to light, suggesting that the original quoted specs were undercooked, and the dream is empowered with 256Rom/128Ram, which would make a lot more sense. We’ve also got a new moniker, the G1
The G1’s specs and features are still unknown but it is rumoured to sport a 528Mhz Qualcomm 7201 processor; Data kit for USB connectivity in the box; 128MB Internal RAM; 256MB Internal ROM, 1GB MicroSD card; Dedicated camera button; 3.1MP camera (no flash) 2048 x 1536; Video playback files - H.264, streaming, 3GPP, MPEG4, and Codec 3GP and a Dedicated YouTube Player. Yes, I agree the memory is really low, but this is still a rumour so take it with a grain of salt.
All right I’m looking at this and I’m thinking, well I’m revising my thoughts, the images are bad, and actually are probably misleading. I’m taken aback by the unfamiliar design, and I’m hoping this works, it’s like a weird tilt. The T-Mobile branding and the cornucopia of comparative shots, seem to defy the possibility of a mock-up, but the dream might still be something that keeps you awake at night.
