My first post here. Entertaining discussion. I think this thing has potential, whether it will be realized or not I have no idea. Just by of context, I don't have an iphone but will be in the market for one when my contract expires in a few months. I hope that if google is going to do this it gets released in january so that I can see the offering in the market for a few months before making my decision on which phone to get.
I think the competition is good, for everybody. Rather than proclaiming the google offering as junk, I think that folks should hope that it is a winner---that someone offers something that provides a realistic alternative to the iphone. It makes Apple better, it gives all of us more choices.
So I'm in wait and see mode. I suspect that I will be getting that iPhone, but there is part of me that hopes that I won't be.

i agree, especially considering all the junk out there that is almost impossible to sync... those so called smartphones make their respective owners sick... and those will most likely think that iphones & android phones are just as bad...!
Quadra is anything but objective. And please don't try and subject your analysis on me. It just makes you sound like Quadra and the way it was phrased it was no joke. He compared the iPhone to Jesus. That is just wrong. He needs help in a very serious way.
Your opinion only.
To me, comparing the iPhone to Jesus is kinda funny, being as for me Jesus is a mythical creature in the same category as Unicorns and Santa Claus.
It would only be "wrong" in the context of an insult or personal attack or if he was purposely making said comment to be intolerant of others. He obviously was not. As others have mentioned he was referencing the whole "Jesus Phone" thing, which is a fairly long-running meme at this point and totally fair game.
I don't actually agree with Quadra on a lot of things, but as I pointed out, he is arguing what he believes and doing it at least in this column based on facts and evidence. It's *you* that's been peppering the list with your "feelings" and a lot of unsupported hyperbole.
At least this time, he is right, and you are wrong.
What you are pointing to here actually back up my argument. Note the highlighted terms.

This is what you have equated to "most analysts agree ... (that) Android will overtake iPhone next year."
These are unsupported generalised predictions or forecasts by some analysts based on the numbers we have now and the statements of industry executives. You are completely wrong to make out like it's a "fact" that Android will overtake iPhone next year and that "most analysts" agree with that.
If you didn't use hyperbole all the time, people might agree with you more.
That doesn't include Search, Music, Video, Books and everything else Google has their hands into these days.
Accept it, or follow Quadra's theory. Although looking at both postins I'd say you were born form the same Apple seed.
Does this include the iPod touch? Comparing the iPhone (hardware) and Android (software) is a moot point. Comparing iPhone OS and Android, then you have to include the iPod touch since it also runs iPhone os. Putting Android on multiple devices then obviously it is going to overtake the iPhone in marketshare. Compare apples to apples.
Yeah don't they all look really excited in that picture.
if I had to sit through another PC event that was just another reversed engineered rehashed "let's see how we can beat apple" and not provide any real substance....and especially if Steve Ballmer was there...
it is amusing that people seem to think because everyone and their brother is announcing Android phones that sheer numbers will overwhelm the iPhone. Didn't work for Windows Mobile or Blackberry who had many years head start. Maybe the day will come when Android is as good as the iPhone OS/hardware combination but it's going to be awhile yet before we see that, if ever.
Looking at the Droid sales, which you astutely point out has some major downfalls, I think it?s quite possible that Android OS on a phone can overtake iPhone OS in marketshare in 2010. There are just to many options for cheap ass phone vendors to use their software across every carrier. RiM is the only BB OS user and MS licensed WinMo so their headstart isn?t like what Google is doing with a free, modern OS with 15k+ apps.

They do some wonky things but the FireWire issue is not one of them. They never had FW800 on their MacBook line. They removed the obsolescing FW400 port interface and only went with the FW800 port interface. All MBPs have FW800.
Personally, I?d like to see another USB on the MacBook before I see FW800. That class machine is much more likely to use USB peripherals than FW. I?m hoping that Apple added USB3.0 to their Macs next time around but I?m not holding my breath.

Gotta love the rationale. Surely they can?t be bored with the material being presented to them or that it?s 7am or some or some other factor. It must be that they hate their Macs.

Apparently I need "counselling" because a certain someone doesn't get the idea of Identity of Relation (between any two ordered pairs), or more broadly and even more appropriate to my example, simple Shared Abstraction. It seems this individual was convinced that I thought the iPhone turned water into wine. Well, it doesn't.
So is the included picture actually supposed to be very close to the handset they're distributing? The HTC passion isn't that great in looks, even if you tweaked it.
The iPhone may not really be that beautiful, but the included pic in this article certainly looks like nothing particularly beautiful either.

Very astute. The media is just trying to create news. It doesn't make sense that Google would come out with it's own branded phone. That would turn off other hardware manufacturers, and perhaps encourage them to consider other operating system alternatives. Google is trying to sell ads not, hardware. If anything, HTC will market this phone in it's own name.

What Google has actually said is that they're handing out HTC handsets to use as a testbed for new software features. That's it. Somehow we go from there to turning these HTC handsets into the fabled "Google phone", despite there being no evidence of that. At all.
I'm sure the HTC handsets are the latest and greatest, but things like OLED screens and Snapdragon processors aren't the result of Google magic, and there was no reason not to expect HTC to do anything but offer such hardware at some point.
No, that's perhaps because you were talking to a Verizon rep. The 3GS does voice dialing (and more). (And FWIW, I doubt the 3GS has the horsepower to support accurate dictation.)
Dragon Dictation. I am using it right now. It works beautifully and integrates with email and SMS smoothly and the rest of the OS via the clipboard.

The iPhone has peaked. It didn't put anyone one out of business, its not the #1 smartphone even though people here pretend it is, and carriers are going to start putting
limits on iPhone users because its not worth the headache.
Everyone is talking about the iPhone now because Apple has done nothing major with any of its other products in years.
Macbook has had nothing major
Macbook Pro has had nothing major
Mac Pro, nothing
Apple TV, has been a failure.
Macbook Air another failure.
iPods nothing major.
IMac, nothing. Except for quadcore which everyone else has had for years now.
They are such an innovative company? What have they done in years thats been so innovative?

The uproar this app created was that it grabs your contact names and uploads them to their servers under an anonymous profile tied to your device?s ID. This way anytime you read off one of those names it can correctly send back the name spelled correctly. They get no other info than the names; no email address, no phone numbers, nothing. If you look at the reviews there are 1300 last time I checked) of 1 start ratings because of this server-side transcription. It?s quite silly.
