Google G1 costs $179 with 2-year voice and data agreement (T-mobile) is cheaper than iPhone 3G. Nobody will think that there’s no competition between Apple’s iPhone 3G and Google’s T-mobile G1. For sure, the price would be much higher in my country just like iPhone 3G. How about mobile ebook on this smartphone? I’m sure online mobile ebook reading will be a wonderful experience. :D
