The
myTouch 3G is all well and good, but seeing how the
Magic on which it's based has already launched virtually everywhere else in the world, the phone itself isn't really the big news -- it's more the strong commitment T-Mobile seems to be making to Android apps with the value-add pack it's prepping. So far, shots and hands-on time with T-Mobile's so called
AppPack have been hard to come by, but xda-developers has just happened to "come across" a build that's now available to anyone who wants to install it. Problem is, the AppPack doesn't currently include
Sherpa -- the location-based entertainment app T-Mobile has really been pushing hard -- apparently due to some last-minute problems T-Mob's having, so for that, we turn to another corner of xda-developers for an installable APK. It's expected that the carrier will be making the AppPack available to
G1 owners, but just in case they had a last minute change of heart... well, let's just say that's not a concern anymore, if you know what we mean.

Whoa, that status bar on top is black like on the Hero. Is this using one of the home screen replacements?
And on a totally unrelated note, is there an easier way for me to comment without going to my email? And by easier, I also mean not using the password engadget gives, which I never remember so I have to go to my email anyways to find it.
It is possible. I don't remember how at the moment m, but click on your username on one of your comments and that will take u to your profile, I think there's a way to change ur password to something u can remember.
Need to go to all this trouble to download the AppPack just go to the Market and search for "Mobile Recommends", which is what the AppPack does.
edit *No need...
I just downloaded and installed Sherpa for my G-1 today. No need to wait for the MyTouch.
