Fommy – G1 Might be the Next Great Thing But Apple Isn’t Shaking in Their Boots

T-Mobile G1 with Google is finally here at Fommy.com. Long-awaited Android-powered handset did not disappoint simply because it is packed with all the features any consumers can almost want. The demo has thoroughly branded in our heads that "there's always something new to discover." The T-Mobile G1 offers true multitasking with browsing by album or artist, Amazon one-click ordering and more. The G1's traffic view and street view are supported and they are great features on the G1 that's missing from the iPhone 3G, contacts pop up as you type, instant messaging the search is tailored to your actions, and you can frame with a resizable box and zoom. The real focus of the T-Mobile G1 is Open Source. Third-party applications are the heart and soul and the real future of the platform. 

For T-Mobile's G1, there will be a bundle of G1 accessories online to select from; everything from Backup Batteries to Car Accessories, Chargers, Cables, Headphones, Cradles, Bluetooth Accessories, and more. The list goes on and on, but basically the primary purposes of any G1 accessories are to add functionality, such as where you can use it and what you can use it with, make some features easier to use, and extend the use of the G1 Android phone. 

Let's face it...we're all a little over-excited at the prospect of Google OS Android G1 phone (made by HTC) coming out on October 22nd via the T-mobile network. 

I would say RIM, as a leading smartphone handset maker, has a thing or two to worry about when it comes to their BlackBerry lineup. However, when it comes to Apple, I've said it before and I'll say it again, content is king. 

What this means is that Apple and the iPhone isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it will continue to trump all other smartphone devices. The key of course is iTunes. Apple has made very good headway into people's lives (and pocketbooks) with all those iTunes downloads - music, movies, videos and more. And with a packed lineup of great Apps from the Apple store there's no turning back. Then there's iTunes U for downloading college courses and listening or watching them at your convenience. 

After all is said and done, the real reason that Apple commands the smartphone kingdom is not because of the great things that the iPhone does but because of all their content.
