Once again, a reason for the non-geeks to buy the Dream/G1/1st Gphone? Or maybe there isn't one and its truly a phone for geeks and geeks alone?
As yet, as far as I can see, it is a phone for geeks alone. However, I suspect that this could well be the initial intention as the early adopters will also be those most likely to develop for the platform, and the wodge of cash being offered in competitions (if my memories of Open Tech aren't as hazy as I think they are) can only help. Once you've got your geeky posse, and the occasional company understanding that this is happening, on board, the applications flow, the platform becomes useful and the non-geeks come running to get their nice, free, open apps that don't come through the iTunes store. Maybe.
All of it without much effort from google to actually build the killer-apps.
