Looks like there is a new competitor for Apple's iPhone.The new mobile released by T-mobile is called the Google phone or the G1.The T-Mobile G1 also features a touch-screen, slick software, and a software store that make it appear a strong competitor to other smart phones. It arrives at a competitive price of $180 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile.
G1 owners will be able to browse Amazon's 6 million tracks across the T-Mobile network. The iTunes store is off line for iPhone users not on a Wi-Fi network. G1 users must be on a Wi-Fi network to download the music itself.The G1 has other unique capabilities, such as spinning the phone to spin around street-level photos available on Google Maps. And its tight integration with other Google applications looks promising. All of those are applications that could appear soon on other phones, including through the software store that Apple offers for the iPhone.
But what the iPhone lacks in performance is easily covered by its looks.The G1 on the other hand would certainly lose the crown to the iPhone in a beauty pageant.The Apple is not certainly going down as it has built a network of users all around the world how prefer the iPhone for its looks over the G1.If the G1 could come out with a sizzling new design it can overtake its opponents.
