The overall consensus of opinion seems to be that the G1 phone has impressed on the announcement of it’s release. Something that you can’t fail to be impressed by is the Google Maps feature. With the compass that’s built in you can use Google maps to get a feel of where you are and then use Streetview to actually view where you are.

Forget your Laptop, Google Android is Here
I’m sitting here writing this using my Laptop, it’s great, I can use it most places, but I’ve tried putting it in my pocket and it doesn’t fit. It’s also heavy and I don’t enjoy carrying it around. As someone addicted to the internet it’s something I need to take with me if I’m going somewhere I think I won’t have access to a computer.
Will Android or mobile devices in general ever replace a Laptop? It’s far too early to say, but Android might just end up leading the way in the business world in the longer term.

Google Looks Long with Android
The more I look at it the more I realize that Google is looking way into the future with Android. It’s easy to get caught up with the hype about Android now and talk about how Google haven’t got a chance of competing with the iPhone.
The fact is that Google is looking to cement it’s position as the dominant force online and then take that domination further into the raidly expanding online mobile market.

The Google Android Problem
The Android platform has a problem and it’s not going to be that easy to solve. The issue is with the branding of the phone and how it’s going to be sold.
It looks like the new HTC phones from T-Mobile will have the Google logo on them. This is unusual and it kind of blurs the line in terms of is this a G Phone? or is it not really a G Phone because it’s just powered by something that Google backs and the phone isn’t made by Google?
