Android is now available via the T-Mobile G1 which is for sale as of today. You can go get them while they last for $179.99 with a 2 year service contract. While this is still no iPhone, it is a worthy competitor in that it can basically do everything the iPhone can and more, due to its open source operating system, but lacks the refinement of some upscale phones. The G1 and Android offer some interesting possibilities and does not have filtered apps like that of the iPhone. We can’t wait to see what is done with Android as it matures and acquires refinement.
