What Is The Deal With This Stupid Lighter iPhone App?
This is a pretty interesting article. It talks about the features that spawn the viral spread of this app. The app from the outside appears to be a standard dumb lighter iPhone app. But it is selling for 99 cents and it's sold 70,000 according to the article (that's roughly $70,000 ) oh and it has been available since Wednesday (9/24/2008) according to Mr. Arrington.

The T-Mobile G1: Can You Say Paradigm Shift?
What have I been saying all along? This thing is gonna be huge. The author, John Biggs, points out that this G1 is kinda like a beta phone for Android, which I agree with. He also is skeptical whether or not it will make it over the hurtles in front of it to take over the first true internet connected handheld PC market. But, in my mind, they have already done it.

So they are commited to making this happen.
With the full physical Qwerty keyboard this phone already has a leg up on the iPhone, and it's a slightly lower price.
But the main thing that will allow this to grow over all others is the openness of the platform. It will make it nearly ubiqutous (sp?) one day, I believe. -

TMobile G1 – Google Android: What Android Could Bring to Your Phone
The G1 and Android provide much more flexibility and possibilities than the iPhone…For instance, Check out his app "Locale"
Locale, developed by an MIT class to let phone users pinpoint the places they live and work on a map, then have their phone change behavior when they're there. Have your phone switch to silent/vibrate when you're at the movies, launch certain apps when you're at a friend's house, and, in the future, run home automation software when you're approaching home. The possibilities are pretty endless with apps like these.
