Google Phone Accessories Marketplace

The long-awaited Google G1 phone is here. Many consumers are comparing the Google G1 phone with the Apple iPhone. For the iPhone, Apple built its own phone, its own operating system, and its own content system. This is where the G1 is different, as it is based on an open platform.

Yet, it’s too early to know whether mobile application developers will congregate enthusiastically around the Android platform.
