I have never even heard of this. I just cam e across this article. I guess they are trying to compete with iphone.T-Mobile USA shows off G1, the Google phone, that has a large touch screen. G1 to sell for $179, device hits U.S. stores October 22. Google is counting on the creativity of software developers to write applications. Amazon.com Inc. will let users download songs directly to the phone. Is this going to be another short lived gimmick? Do you think this will catch on? http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/ptech/09/23/google.phone.ap/index.html

I have heard about them, but I had not seen one yet. I think that it is a fad just like every other cool phone that phone manufacturers come out with. I will stick with the phone I got free with my plan.

You know what? Do you ever think things are just getting out of hand? I mean, all these gadgets and phones and this and that - to me it is just getting out of hand. So many so often and then they all go out of "style" and new ones emerge, updates and add-ons and no one really even used all that the first one could do. And do they really need all that stuff? Seems to me there is so much going on "in your hand" that the rest of life gets neglected. Not to mention, I just plain can't keep up with it all.

I don't know. You know everyone will or might rush out to get one just like they wanted a Apple because of all the hype about it. That is what will push sales is people thinking it is the latest and greatest even when it might be a flop.I myself wouldn't by a Apple or G1 because they are to easily stolen,broke, or damaged and so a waste of money if that happens yeah love the idea of technology at my fingertips but not at that cost.

I wish that we could afford something like that. Sounds nice though.
