Future Android Update Status of T-Mobile G1 Unclear
You guys need to visit the XDA forums...
Those boys over there have been giving us custom ROMs that allow APPS to be installed to SD Card... allow SD cards to function as swap memory for the OS...
They have ported HTC Hero software and widgets to the G1 and MyTouch 3G.
Android STOMPS all other phone platforms... they just need better hardware for the OS to realy be able to compete with Apple.
I literally keep switching back and forth between my iPhone and my G1 because I love both and can't decide between the 2.

Things like this are going to doom Android
Android, as competent as it is, is already lacking in polish behind more integrated platforms. Even the original iPhone, which is now two years old, has been given new features and usability enhancements.
The G1 isn't even a year old, and if it's treated as legacy hardware this quickly into its life span, Android is going to fail as a mobile platform.

Android won't fail as a platform. It has way to much personalization ability. I think what you will see in the future is just better phones. The G1 was a fast push out to get the name out their. BTW my wifey got the G1 and is already ready for an ...

You are amazingly wrong. Android is here to stay. Have you seen the Hero? The Rachael UI? The G1 is FIRST GEN. Let's say that again. FIRST GEN. Even the MyTouch has double the ROM, which gives about 4 times the available space. I've got 40+ ap...

I have a HTC Dash also with a 4GB memory card and I have all sorts of apps installed and running off my microSD card, it gives you the option when you're installing.
So does S60, I can do the same on my Nokia N95.
