What Did Google Phone Say To The iPhone?
With all of the buzz about the G1 from Google / T-Mobile in the past 24 hours there have been some great comments and reviews. There have been insightful discussions and interesting banter weighing the pros and cons, the reasoning for the way they've done certain things, features it may lack or contain, etc. Those are all interesting and useful commentary. This is none of those things.
I promise to do more of that in the future, as I did yesterday, but this was too good to pass up. So, this one's from pretty far in left field, in a sense. I guess in another sense it's exactly germane. After all, you have to admit that a huge amount of network traffic is..well..here, just check out the image. It's almost like a Mac vs. PC add, but oh so much funnier.
We have been waiting for the new iPhone for such a long time, Do we really believe the iPhone is toast? No, of course not. Do we believe that the most interesting thing about the G1 is the possibility for mobile porn? Lawl, no, not at all. But c'mon, that's funny. I just couldn't resist sharing this one. I do think, however, the open marketplace that Android is going to offer will be pretty darn interesting. Apple had a great idea with their marketplace, but keeping it under wraps and not allowing it to be truly open is going to stifle creativity in the long run. That's definitely something we've learned here. Open and honest wins in the end.
Okay, even it's a toast but it’s still the coolest smartphone out there (other smartphones) and I still want one. I look forward to seeing you on the line.
Enjoy your new iPhone (and here are some accessories while you are at it).
