Yes, the G1 runs Android I believe? NTT Docomo will soon release an Android-based phone in Japan (where I am) - unfortunately not knowing this, I got an iPhone recently (mainly because it was free with a contract) and am very very disappointed. You have to pay Apple US$99 per year just for the privilege of writing applications for your own device. Had I done my research, I would have known about the imminent NTT phone and the development license but... too late now. Softbank wouldn't take it back (even though it's been only a week) so I'm now stuck with a platform that I'm not really keen on developing for. Open source on the iPhone is practically dead, probably because developers have to pay to develop for it. So... now that I have it I'm not sure if I'll work on an iPhone client because I'll have to shell out US$99 to do it. I'm tempted to cut my losses and cancel to get the Android phone later (although this would be a big waste of money, obviously), wait until Softbank release an Android phone (which they may) and switch to that (still costly, but not as much as canceling) or wait until an Android PDA or some similar portable, not-to-expensive device comes along and get that. All in all, I learned a valuable lesson in being patient with phone/contract purchases. Oh well.
