Careful Sanga, wars have been started for less ;-) I am a little confused though. Does the G1 refer to this particular phone or the release of Google Android? Are we not going to see 20-30 different handsets coming out with the OS a la Windows Mobile, in which case does that not mean any mistakes will be rectified by the next company to release a Google Android phone? For example the design. Is anyone out there trying to hack a iphone to run google android? Surely that would be a truely amazing combination? Sanga M.
