"The T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone, designed by Google and made by HTC, remains firmly in the shadow of the iPhone-for now. The phone, which goes on sale next week in the US and next month in Britain, was released too early. The HTC hardware and Android OS that powers it lack the polish and depth of even the iPhone 1.0 in most respects. It's not a bad phone, but the software and hardware needed more time in the oven to bring them to a golden brown crispness." Full review at Arstechnica.

I can just imagine the quality of apps...
Open Source is great for server side apps. BUT when it comes to desktop the verdict is quite the opposite. Desktop open source applications suck when compared to their closed source breatherns.
So if this is what you are hoping for, then you better get an iPhone or whatever other offering there is.
What people forget is that Apple is so good at what it does because it spends oodles of money on people who watch closely on what users want. They are not techies...
