Likes:
  • was already a Tmobile user
  • less costly data plan than iPhone
  • open system. Seems Apple would have learned from Mac/PC history that open leads to more software, innovation, and sales
  • Google creativity. Have had a GMail account since the early days but have grown to appreciate it as my main e-mail system
  • reliability and stability is pretty amazing for a first generation product
  • voice recognition is very good since version 1.5
  • user can change the battery and upgrade the flash memory
  • I expect to see Android running on many different types of devices soon. Apple will likely introduce an iPad, but will likely fall behind the speed of innovation Android will experience
Dislikes:
  • not as polished as iPhone
  • open system (yes it's also a like but having one company in control of hardware and software does tend to make for a more polished and reliable product)
  • Gmail app does not display many inline photos in e-mail
  • battery life in G1 is not great
  • multi-touch is not implemented
