The press event yesterday in New York unveiled the new T-Mobile G1 Android based device. There is much excitement for this new phone platform because of it’s open standards. Rather than using a closed/proprietary operating system (such as Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry or Apple) - Android is based on open source code which leaves the doors wide open for developers to get in and create programs without the restrictions of the carriers or operating system developers. Most users are hoping for an open environment that frees them from the limitations that device manufacturers like Apple place on how and where they can obtain applications for their phones.I’ve noticed several reviews pop up immediately. However the best reviews seems to come after people have had a day or two to reflect on the phone and it’s features. Here are some links to the reviews I’ve seen which provide more than a quick glimpse.
