Full review: T-Mobile G1

Full review: T-Mobile G1 : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech

"It's a bit raw, and the clunky hardware isn't too inspiring, but the Android-powered G1 is the first touchscreen handset I've seen that's a true iPhone competitor—and a good one.

While it lacks the iPhone's spit and polish, the G1 benefits from the peppy, easy-to-use Android OS, not to mention the open-source freedom that'll probably lead to a riot of inventive applications. Priced at just $179 and set to ship October 22 (you can pre-order it here), it's no wonder the G1 is already a hit."

Killing time at Starbucks

Well, as you can see from the pic, I'm killing time at the local Starbucks waiting for four new tires to be installed on the Dodge Caravan (grin). It's kinda like a "clown car" in that all the dashboard lights are lit (they don't mean anything anymore, but it still scares folks who get in for a ride...LOL) and we've logged 280,000+ miles on it. I bought the car when Cameron was one...he's 13 now! Lots of memories in that old rent-a-wreck, but MOST importantly during this current recession??? It's 100% paid for...no car note (hehehe). I guess that's one thing to be thankful for. So I'm just logged into the Internet at Starbucks on this Columbus Day Holiday...yup, I got the day off...no one else does, but I do!! Go figure. You should see me hear at the cafe...1) Logged into the laptop, 2) Charging my Blackberry, 3) Listening to mp3s over wireless Bluetooth headset, 4) Drinking my "tall" coffee, 5) Webcam hooked to take this picture, and 6) Texting employees who ARE working today!

You must admit that's QUITE a sight, huh? LOL! Have a wonderful day. Happy Columbus Day (whatever that means) to you... ;-)
