Google’s G1: First Impressions
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
Walt Mossberg gives us Google’s G1: First Impressions.
Google’s new G1 phone announced today is the first real competitor to the iPhone. Like Apple’s product, it’s a serious handheld computer with a powerful new operating system (called Android) and a clever touch-based user interface. Like the iPhone, it’s likely to be a major new platform for third-party software. But it’s also very different, and may appeal to different buyers.
