Standford student, Google employee please, "Google" came from the word "googol" which means 1 to the power of 100. So basically 1 with 100 zeroes after it. It's a BIG number get it!
Looks are in the eye of the beholder and no doubt, just like the Prius is not for everyone, this particular model is not either. As far as the software goes, its like a D.I.Y. Bare Bones PC build in which you decide what additional hardware and software rounds out the final spec. If you like a proprietary spec'd OS, you go with Windows, if not you go with Linux and the same rules apply with the G1 vs I phone. Want a Video Player, add one, want to upload your Contacts, get a Gmail account, and if you want to plug in earphones, use the supplied proprietary dongle. Early adopters will purchase this phone and by the end of the 1st quarter expect at least a half a dozen phones using the Android OS at which time Android will be on the minds of every other major Cell Phone manufacture. "What the wise do in the beginning, fools do in the end"
