9 Feature Comparisons: G1 vs. iPhone

Thanks, FJ. Apparently Blaque is as dense as he appears, or is being deliberately so in order to attempt to make an ill-formed point. What is the CONSUMER penetration of Linux on the personal computer side? That is, when people are given a CHOICE of operating system, what do they select? Android's future on smartphones will likely be similar to Linux's past/present on PCs, geeks and hobbyists will flock to it, but the masses will stick with what they know, in this case OSX on iPhone and Windows Mobile.

9 Feature Comparisons: G1 vs. iPhone

Google's G1: A Paradigm Shift in Mobile Phones

This newest iPhone "killer" is a complete JOKE. Here's what you're buying for your whopping $20 off the price of an 8GB iPhone 3G:

1GB of onboard storage
No standard 3.5mm headphone jack
1GB/mo data limit over 3G
Heavier, thicker form factor w/ smaller screen
No Exchange compatibility
T-Mobile's woefully inadequate 3G coverage

Yeah, quite a deal. HTC sure didn't do Google any favors putting out this clunker for the debut of Android.
