10/15/2008 - T-Mobile G1 Android - Hands on vid

If you have any doubt as to how far ahead of the game Apple was in January 2007 when they first announced the iPhone to the world, then this video should convince you otherwise. It took almost two years after that announcement, but the most anticipated iPhone competitor will arrive next week in the form of an HTC phone with Google's Android operating system. There's no doubt that the folks at Google are code gurus, but it looks like not even their genius could reverse-engineer what Apple did with the iPhone so many moons ago.

Nice try, Google... but by the time you get something that matches the iPhone, Apple will just release an upgrade.
