PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless "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.

Firefox I'll grant you as one of the few desktop apps where Open Source holds its own. OpenOffice's only strong points is that it's free and not tied to a proprietary format. I've never seen anyone seriously try to argue that Open Office is a superior product to Office 2007. At best you can say it's good enough for many people (including me).
