Android is Linux insofar as its core components are open-source and free, and Google must publish their source code with every release. But the real heart of the Android phone experience—the Google apps like Maps, GChat, Gmail, Android Market, Google Voice, Places and YouTube are close...

The Moment is a fairly slick-looking device, quite thin for a full QWERTY slider and with an inoffensive black and silver design with a nice silver grille accent on the top. It's certainly a step up from the other major Android QWERTY slider around, the T-Mobile G1: For one, it's got a 3.5-mm h...
As for speed, it's pretty similar to other Android phones on the market now, like the Ion or the Hero. It's not faster, and it's not as smooth as say, the iPhone or the Pre, but the transitions are nice and it's not sluggish by any means. The accelerometer was slower than the iPhone's, but it wasn...
Not only does the T-Mobile G2/HTC Magic/Google Ion phone improve on original T-Mobile G1 in just about every way, it manages to do it while cutting down significantly on the size. The only thing it doesn't have going for it is a hardware keyboard. Software keyboard actually works
According to readers, the T-Mobile G1 Android firmware update version 1.1 is now available for everyone to enjoy. [Thanks Zalman]
• Sexy Hardware: The shots we've seen look great and all, but we want an Android phone that's really going to wow us. We know HTC has it in them—they've given us blue balls a-plenty with the Euro-only Touch HD. Let's see some high-end hardware—be it an ultra-high res screen, a slick form factor...
Interestingly, the rep also noted that T-Mobile has a battery improvement program for the G1 in the works, which should come as a relief to the throngs of customers who have been disgusted and appalled at the now infamous lack of battery life. [Google and Blog Thanks Luis!]
The T-Mobile G1 was the necessary first step, but with Google amping up their Android development staff and interest coming from other major phone makers like Motorola, we assume we'll see a truly great Android phone soon. Motorola promises that their own offering will be better and chea...
The T-Mobile G1 Android phone is now available, and you've seen our review. Now we're going to take on the apps in the Android Marketplace. How are they? Are they good enough to justify a two year commitment to T-Mobile? Read on and find out.
Good and fair review. I'd hope that no one would expect a perfect OS on the outset. Even the iGodPhone wasn't at 1.0. But that means that Google is going to have to work harder to catch up. I'm still betting 1.5 before the end of Q1 '09 ...
Well, the nice thing about this is that now we relly have a two horse race: G-Phone vs. iPhone. And that's good for all of us! Maybe Nokia will join the party with the right games and apps....? altus.
The G1 phone and the Android operating system are not finished products. There are only three working Google Apps here—Gmail, Maps and Calendar—while Google Docs, Google News, Google Reader, Google Shopping, Google Images, Google Video, Blogger and Picasa are nowhere to be found. What...
Google Apps: We didn't have a Gmail account loaded, so we couldn't see incoming messages, but the app looks minimalistic and was snappy. Text input is with the QWERTY keyboard, as it is with every app right now. It's kinda subdued, missing the colorful bubbly design of the Gmail Mobile app fo...
