According to Can Google out-cool Apple? T-Mobile announced the T-Mobile G1 yesterday, the first cell phone to run Google’s new Android OS…

T-Mobile G1

According to ZDNet’s article, the T-Mobile G1 is not an iPhone killer because the two target different audiences. Here are some things ZDNet had to say about those 2 audiences:

In terms of cool, I think that the iPhone is still the outright winner, after all, put the G1 and the iPhone side-by-side and the iPhone wins hands down when it comes to stylishness…

the G1 will appeal to geeks… 

The Google vs. Apple (or G1 vs. iPhone) won’t be fought based on which device is coolest, it’ll be based on which is geekiest.

The only thing I’d add to their assessment here is that price will surely play a role in the audiences. How much is the G1 gonna set you back? I couldn’t say, but from what I’ve read you might want to ask “How much is that 2 year T-Mobile contract gonna cost?” There are other geek-lover’s options out there if you don’t want to shell out the big bucks for either of these 2 smart phone giants.
