Will G1 Kill the iPhone Star?

Will G1 Kill the iPhone Star?

Probably not.

The new G1, which was unveiled today, takes aim at Apple's popular (and, arguably, somewhat cloying) iPhone. The Google phone offers you a slideout keyboard (not a clumsy touchpad), can download songs remotely via Wi-Fi (through Amazon, iTunes), and is available to T-Mobile customers (and not AT&T's). Also, it uses something called the Android operating system. Basically, it's the phone FROM THE FUTURE! Oh, and it has a 3 megapixel camera and full HTML browser. (Let Valleywag tell you all about it here.)

And the best part? It goes for $179 (probably with account activation) on October 22. But will you take a ride on the G1 line?
