you know the G1 is actually not as similar to the iPhone as it is made  
out to be. It doesn't even have a headphone jack?

interesting, seems like not a good piece of hardware to debut android  
on. if they are trying to strike the iPhone market.

I think also the hardware variance will cause problems for developers,  
as for example this phone has no multitouch. No standards across the  
Android family means some apps will work with some phone and not with  
others.
