iPhone vs T Mobile G1

[Strumpet]

I love my iPhone

The web browsing is brilliant. I pop on facebook on it too and post to Urban sometimes. Love being able to pop into MSN when my free texts are running low lol.
The applications you can get for free are great!
Loads of music. iTunes!
Can even tune your guitar with it

I hate that you can't send photos via sms. Stupid. It doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the phone loads but it would be nice. I like that feature.
You can't bluetooth to other phones but I hardly did that anyway so doesn't bother me.

I bluetooth phone to phone about once every two years, I've rarely used it. As for picture messaging...well I just don't, never really got into it. Besides I can uploard photos to Facebook which my friends all check at their leisure....hmmmm...decisions decisions. Would like to hear from some more G1 users and other iPhone users though...

If you want to get more experience of the G1 download the Android SDK. In there is an application that is an Android emulator.

Check it out, got all the apps and stuff and you can do most things apart, obviously, from making calls.

It's pretty safe to assume that everyone is racing to bring out a G1 version of every popular iPhone app.

I don't see why that's safe at all; it's not like they're a similar platform or anything, and most of the people writing iPhone apps are small developers who don't have the time to cross-platform. It's not safe to assume they're racing to bring out a Blackberry Storm version of every popular iPhone app either.

The advantage of Android, I think, will be that the open-source development that goes on with it, which I have some hopes for but I can't say will necessarily be that useful.

Posting from the withing the Android SDK, so the browser is very good, but does not appear to scroll from right to left very well when entering this text.

Its definitely a work in progress as far as I can see. Give it a year or so and it will get a lot better.

Where do you get the sdk? Can you just install it like any normal software (ie does it have a .exe to click?)?

http://code.google.com/android/download.html

Unzip that the directory to somewhere and in the directory there is a tools folder that contains an emulator.exe

Just run that and ta-da you can play.

Oh man that site is slow, it's gonna take nearly two hours to d/l a 89 mb file!

 

[Sunray]

Mine d/l at 250Ks, maybe its your ISP's peering.
