Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin introduce the new T-Mobile G1 phone.


Google – the internet search leader – launched their G Phone today. The G Phone developed by HTC will be available in US markets through T-Mobile on October 22, 2008.

The cost of T-Mobile G1 Phone will be $179. This was much cheaper of what was expected. This Google G-Phone is developed to compete with Apple’s hot selling iPhone.

The operating system of Google G Phone is Android – an open source operating system. Google has started a project called Android Developer Challenge I or ADC I to develop Android based applications by outside developers much earlier. There will be two rounds and the total prize money will be USD10 million.

The Google G1 Phone will be available in the UK market in November 2008 and it will be available in select EU markets next year. This is very quite reasonable time compared to Apple iPhone.


 

An Early GPhone Review

So now we know that the first GPhone is indeed coming this fall.

Will it be a hit? It’s hard to tell much from the supposed spy photos we’ve seen floating around on the Web, like the one to the right.

But someone who’s actually seen the gadget — similar, if not identical to the one in the photo — tells us that both the hardware (from handset-maker HTC) and Google’s Android software suffer from a similar problem: They’re technically powerful but not as elegant as Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone and OS X.

Specifically, the phone — apparently a hot item to show off in Google’s cafeterias these days — is big and bulky, and not as sleek as the iPhone. And Android, while extremely powerful, has a less-elegant, less-user-friendly interface than the iPhone.

Does this mean it won’t sell well? Of course not. There’s a lot more variables, like device and contract pricing, software and services, etc. that will help determine its commercial success.

Developers, meanwhile, should get some new software to play with soon: Our source says that Google (GOOG) will finally be publicly releasing an updated version of its software developers kit in the next few weeks. Google has been releasing editions of the Android developers kit to preferred developers for several weeks — without updating the public edition
