I have connected a G1 to my development laptop and used eclipse just as I would when using the emulator to automatically deploy apk's and run and test them, and have the logcat readout looks just as per with the emulator.
There is at least one difference which I noticed. You do NOT have root access to all folders and files using adb shell, or with the file viewer in DDMS of eclipse. You do have to enable debug over USB or something like that on the phone. I got all the details I needed by searching the development.android.com site.
