Today in New York City T-Mobile, HTC and Google officially unveiled the much anticipated G1. The touch-screen phone is the first to use Google's open source Android platform. Available on 22 October 2008 for $179, this device offers the first user experience that even comes close to the ease, quality and delight of the iPhone interface. Some aspects of the touch-based interface are what we've come to expect, while other innovations are destined to become new standards. Phone locking, for example, uses a gesture based code instead of a pin code as shown in the video below.
This video was shot on the Kodak Zi6 pocket HD video camera which we just started playing with and are liking a whole lot.
There's a great demo video on the G1 site; for the full pitch head over to Phonescoop for further details.

While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with...
Once again challenging the iPhone's reign as the touch screen device of choice for over two years, HTC's new model boasts industrial design and interface usability that makes us weigh our options carefully. For early-adopters looking to differentiate themselves from the iPhone-using masses, the Hero may be the answer. Three years in the making, HTC's Hero notably adds HTC Sense, the first fully customized...
This morning in London, mobile phone manufacturer HTC unveiled the Touch Diamond, a new Windows Mobile Device that looks great! Yes, I did just say "Windows Mobile" and "great" in the same sentence. Focusing on delivering a killer experience, the device features a highly customized version of Windows Mobile called TouchFLO 3D. All the most important functions are accessible from the home screen using...
As many of you have noted, I follow most things from a guy's perspective. For Digital Life, which started yesterday, I asked Carol Chung to check it out and bring back a report for the ladies. Here's her story (details and pictures after the jump): I met up with my friend Matt outside the Javits Center. Today was the first day of the Digital...
MobileBurn has some great photos of the new concept phones from Sanyo. They all feature OLED displays which are super bright, ultra thin and have low power consumption. It's hard to see how the user interface looks (and I think these are just mock-ups, anyway), but I like the way they use two internal displays....
The Storm is BlackBerry's much-heralded first foray into touchscreen smartphones. When it hit the market earlier this week, it entered a field of touchscreen phones like the T-Mobile G1 and the gold standard Apple iPhone. It was developed by Canada's Research in Motion and represents a clear challenge to Apple's supremacy. We've been toying with a review unit for a week, and have noted...
