Distinctive features:
The Google G1 comes with a keyboard subtly hiding behind a sliding touchscreen. Just a tap on the icons is enough to execute any software of choice. The keyboard is a regular one which makes entry of data a breeze. There are six buttons on the handset to serve different purposes. The first and the last buttons enable the user to make/receive and end an active call. There is a trackball button at the centre, the function of which is similar to the regular mouse. The other three buttons are for navigating and displaying the available options on the desktop.
The Google G1 is available in three colors: white, brown and black.
The GPS service makes navigation a cinch in the new Google G1. It is impossible to get lost if one possesses the G1. The Google maps have the precision to pinpoint the exact location searched for. An accelerometer is combined with a digital compass to make navigation easy in Street View mode. The compass can orient the screen according to movement.
The Google G1 has a 3-megapixel camera but it has no provision for video recording. YouTube clips can however be played on G1. Amazon mp3 service is available on the Google G1 to download music of choice. Shop Savvy software is integrated into G1 camera, which can take photographs of bar codes and thus, compare prices of items before purchasing them.
The web browser provided in the Google G1 is Chromlite. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity add spice to the already flexible internet navigation.
Battery life is capable of handling 5 hours of talk time and 130 hours of standby time. The Google G1 has 1GB storage and can support a maximum of 8GB through a microSD slot. SQLite is the database software used for storage.
MMS is another feature available in the Google G1 along with SMS and threaded text messaging.
Comparison with Apple iPhone:
There is much talk about Google G1 eclipsing the Apple iPhone. The G1 is priced about $20 less than the iPhone. It has a physically available QUERTY keyboard against iPhone`s virtual one. Most users are mentally allergic to the use of a virtual keyboard. The presence of an actual keyboard is more enterprising for them. Internet browsing is better developed in a Google G1 too. The 3 mega-pixel camera of Google G1 is also a more intriguing option than the 2 mega-pixel one in an iPhone.
However, Google G1 does not have a sizable expandable memory. iPhone has a memory of 8 - 16GB which is a lot more than the G1. The standby battery life of an iPhone is also considerably better than a G1. Video playback capabilities are missing in a G1 while it is a major attraction in an iPhone.
Conclusion
So the war is on. The results of the speculations will finally arrive after the Google G1 comes into the user`s hands. Reports say that the initial production of Google G1 has already been completely booked over the internet. The concerned authorities are contemplating making more units to meet the heavy demand. Only time will tell whether investment in the Android based Google G1 is a profitable one or not.
