It also supports the ex-Google Mobile product manager's words:
"It’s funny - but the first time I heard about Android was about 2.5 years ago, when Eric Schmidt told me about the device at Stanford after I got a job offer from Google (yet before I accepted it!). Since then I have seen many iterations of the software. The software. Not the device itself, because sadly it hasn’t changed in many years. The reason many people see the phone as ugly and old-fashioned is simply… because it IS! It’s a design unchanged for at least two years, without iterations on it besides color schemas (it’s now available in Zune-brown along with white and black) and the silly ‘with Google’ description on the back. Don’t ask me what ‘with Google’ means. I didn’t understand it back then and still don’t understand it today."

His Facebook status reads, “Ulf is disappointed but not surprised about the ‘G1′. Where’s the cheap data plan? Where do I plug in my headphones? No video player? How do I get contacts in it?”

Standford student, Google employee please, "Google" came from the word "googol" which means 1 to the power of 100. So basically 1 with 100 zeroes after it. It's a BIG number get it!

Looks are in the eye of the beholder and no doubt, just like the Prius is not for everyone, this particular model is not either. As far as the software goes, its like a D.I.Y. Bare Bones PC build in which you decide what additional hardware and software rounds out the final spec. If you like a proprietary spec'd OS, you go with Windows, if not you go with Linux and the same rules apply with the G1 vs I phone. Want a Video Player, add one, want to upload your Contacts, get a Gmail account, and if you want to plug in earphones, use the supplied proprietary dongle. Early adopters will purchase this phone and by the end of the 1st quarter expect at least a half a dozen phones using the Android OS at which time Android will be on the minds of every other major Cell Phone manufacture.
