So, it's finally here. At least in one incarnation. I'm not going to lie, before I was an iPhone fan boy, I was very excited when I first heard about the Open Handset Alliance and it's love child, the Android OS. In a shocking announcement a couple of weeks ago, T-Mobile announced that it was releasing the G1, the world's first Android powered phone, in conjunction with HTC.


There is definitely excitement in the air with the release of the phone and more importantly the release of the much awaited Android OS. Enough talk. Videos!
