Got a new work phone - the Android G1

It is amazing what they can pack into these things now days.

Now if only I can find an app that can walk my dog - that would be great!

Myself, I'm kind of interested in the Toshiba TG01...1 GHz CPU and 800x480 
display?  On a CEL PHONE?!  Crazy.  Plus you shake it to do stuff (though 
that might make it hard to use while driving on a bumpy road or flying an 
aeroplane through turbulence...maybe that's a hint that you shouldn't be 
trying to talk on the phone while doing that, I dunno.)

Not the first phone to do that. Seen that on a Nokia phone.

Once you get your hands on such a phone, stay tuned for some fun apps though.
Some months ago, a work colleague showed off some gimmicks like that "laser
sword" app that would turn your cellphone display a bright red or blue, and
make menacing humming sounds as you swooshed the thing around =B)

Real geeky stuff.

I have not had all that much time to play with it, but so far it is 
really cool.  While it isn't a full blown talking turn here GPS, it 
pretty much does the same thing.  Used it Saturday after missing an exit 
in PA - showed how to get to the place faster using back roads than 
going back to the freeway.

To use something like this just as a phone - not really good.  Being 
able to access all sorts of things (email, web, maps, etc...) makes it 
something worth thinking about - if you are going to use such things.

And of course, there are lots of fun apps that you can get as well.
