Of course, Google's new T-Mobile G1 will never be as cool as Dr. Shamp's iPhone, but it can sure as hell try. Google introduced the PC-esque phone to rival Apple's iPhone, and if nothing else the price ($179) will certainly be competitive. Like we discussed earlier today in the Digital Brown Bag, Apple will always be the cool thing for people to have. But like we all know, especially after the recent release of Google Chrome, Google is on the up in their quest for world domination.
Using Google's Android software, the G1 has many of the same qualities as the iPhone. It utilizes a web browser to access Web sites like Gmail and Youtube. It also has a touch screen with a full slide-out keyboard, as you can see in the picture above.
Android is one of several efforts by Google to extend its dominance from the PC-Web to the mobile Web. The software is its effort to ensure that its consumer services — as well as its advertising systems — are widely available on mobile phones.
