I constantly but heads with iphone supporters...... they swear the iphone is better than the g1 ascenine right? What other standout features does the g1 have/support that the iphone does not? Or what does it do better than the iphone? Because I watched countless videos on youtube about the g1 months before I pre order and I know the phone very well. I'm just now understanding binary, thought it was hard, but everything is diffivult when you don't understand it lol, anyway... what other aces does the g1 have up its sleeve? Now with flash coming to the iphone I'm pissing my pants...
well i'm sure that others can answer this in great detail, but for my reasons:
custom themes (personalize the damn thing =])
full control over your phone(with root of course)
WiFi tether (see the iphone do that!)
and a better community here at xda than any iphone fanboy site can create
those are my big ones =]
can the iphone copy and paste??
Is this even the forum for this discussion? In all honesty, why does it matter? If you own a G1 use it, it's a da%! phone. If you have the iphone, read my last sentence.
Fanboys are fanboys no matter what side of the argument. Wait until electronics DON'T work, then see where you all stand.

Does the iphone have 3.2 MP camera, Bluetooth, Tons of free market apps, Trackball, Qwerty keyboard, 3 desktops, copy/cut/paste feature, customizable theme, Can it run Debian,.....
* Digital Compass
These are the plus points of having G1 than that F**king iPhone

not to go against the g1, but the iphone does have bluetooth, tons of free market apps, has more then 3 desktops, customizable themes and a digital compass.
The iPhone comes with plenty of great stuff, like...
- The requirement to have the OS guess what you want to type, since there's no keyboard
- The inability to send picture messages
- DRM out the wazoo
- A completely closed operating system
- A company that's willing to brick phones to protect their DRM
You can have all this and more, for the privilege of paying a higher monthly fee and the inability to get insurance for the phone.
But it is MUCH shinier. If you're into shiny, you're all set!
I think they are both fine phones, and do a good job at what they were designed to do. That said, I prefer and therefore own a G1. I actually owned a Wing before, and one of the primary reasons I bought the G1 was the XDA community. Coming here was the best thing that ever could have happened to my Wing, and I just knew that the great contributors to this community would have awesome stuff in store for the G1. iPhone couldn't provide me with the 'screwing with my phone' endless hours of enjoyment that I get from the combination of my G1 and these forums.
And I think someone else had it right when they suggested this isn't the correct forum for this thread... Maybe it'll get moved.
Honestly, if you jailbreak the iPhone, it has almost everything the G1 has and a bit more except for the Open Source base and more open (but less full content-wise) market.

FYI, jailbroken iPhone has all these.
Hardware wise, physical keyboard and digital compass.
Software wise, app multitasking.

The iphone has Debian. The same guy who put it on the G1 (Saurik) first put it on the iPhone. http://www.saurik.com/id/1
Also hardware wise:
A user removable and upgradable battery.
SDHC card slot
The iPhone still doesn't allow easy background execution of third party programs. There's rumor that it may come with firmware 3.0 but it won't be available for a while.
I use both the iPhone and a rooted G1 and I have to say there are tons more useful apps available for the iPhone right now. Although we need to give Android more time for more cool apps to become available on Market.
KS
The Iphone right now has way more great apps on it then it does useless ones b/c of the screening while the g1 has a lot of useless apps with a small percentage of great apps on it. In the future the g1 will have alot of great apps that we want on it wile the iphone users will have to resort to jailbreaking theirs to get the same kind of great apps.
The Iphone has better multi-touch then the g1 is cappable of right now and its thinner.
The G1 has the ability to possibly go up to 32gb when the microsd cards come out unlike the Iphone and it has that all important trackball or when ur hands r cold and the keyboard for when u want to make long posts on xda without having to constantly double check to see if u typed everything right.
Can iphone send MMS? Thats most important think for many people. And ofcorse hardware keyboard

thats exactly what i was going to say,
a jailbroken iphone does "what apple does not want it to do out of the box"
the only diff is.... its been out for a while, and it lacks a hardware keyboard...
about the apps.... there is a "hacked" market app... a friend has a jailbroken iphone 2g and he basically gets any app, pay or free off that "illegal market"
i like hte G1 better... cause its what i like... but really a jailbroken iphone can copy paste and do anything a g1 can.

Wtf do u mean why does it matter? I know the majority of the users on xda have fooled with th iphones and g1s, and they know the apps, the hardware, the capabilities, the updates, the jailbroken features etc. So I asked this question 2 see which phone is really ahead of the game. Does it matter ? No. Is this the correct forum for this question? Yes.
P.s. when electronics don't work you'll be ass out 2 ... f*****g clown....

I think you've missed the point. This is NOT the correct forum for this discussion as this particular forum is about developing for Android. So what exactly does this have to do with developing for Android?
There is another thread for discussing the G1 and maybe this topic would have been more useful in there.
Also kindly don't resort to calling people names, it makes you look immature and a bit foolish to be honest and the mods on this forum don't take kindly to it.
g2 launch
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/technology/7894516.stm
So what are the odds jf will be able to get us cupcake when it finally rolls out on the htc magic
As far as I know cupcake will never be released, not the way most people think at least. It's a development branch, a fork of the regular Android build, which will release new modules one at a time, as they get ready. I'd wager that the RC33/ADP1.1 Holiday releases already have "cupcake parts" in them. But seeing as the G2/Magic lacks a real keyboard, we can count on one thing at least; it will have the fabled cupcake on-screen keyboard.
wow, it looks just like the G1 but, strangly, not as good.
I need a physical keyboard...
I'll wait for the G3. Unless samsung manages to pull out an OmniaHD with a keyboard and android
this looks like a cheaper less expensive g1...i doubt there will be anywhere near the support
for this phone as there has been for the Dream.
No physical keyboard? Fail. I can't stand touch screen for typing I need a physical keyboard. The most common complaints I hear about the iPhone and the Blackberry Storm is the lack of a physical keyboard. I also don't see anything about a onboard GPU either that'd give it graphics that can compete with the iPhone. Like what was said it's probably just a G1 that's cheaper to make which is utterly disappointing. It's less like a G2 and more like a G1.5.
bummer, i was hoping for a full screen face. looks like a keyboardless, cheaper G1 :/
Appears to have video tho.. may be useful for the g1?
The Magic's photo gallery app has built-in video playback, unlike on the G1. You can record videos with the phone, as well, at two quality settings - "low" and "high." The video player plays movies from a microSD card in full-screen mode.

HTC Magic
I thought this was interesting, HTC is releasing its second Android phone, and no its not the G2.
I just happened to browse there website today and noticed the new phone, what strikes me as odd is the fact that the phone has no physical keyboard and they say its all on-screen... Which I assume means they have a cupcake build running stable enough for a release with Vodaphone.
http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-is-official-bringing-android-to-vodafone-sans-keyboar/

Looks like it would have to run a stable release branched off from the cupcake development branch since, per its specs, it would at least need:
- software keyboard
- video recording capability
- A2DP
if you read the engadget post you'll see that the keyboard is not yet stable

One thing the htc magic does have are all the cupcake compatible google and closed source apps.
In the phonedog video, somebody actually demoed the new enhancements to the gmail app such as tagging for batch processing.
I'm guessing google is waiting for cupcake to stabilize before making those apps available.
Good to see they're sticking with some sort of lip at the bottom, funny if all Android phones happened to have bent bottoms to them
Or, they are releasing their apps to phone manufacturers rather than developers first. Google needs to get their priorities in order, I think.
also note that the Vodaphone site says release in Spring, which means probably end of spring/summer. Really, anything that they demoed could have easily been smoke and mirrors (very common in software/gadgets ), but, most likely they are working off of trunk that had cupcake merged into it back in December.
In other words, this means nothing about a stable cupcake build
could the firmware for this be ported to the G1, seing as its, well, basically the same?
or would there be no physical keyboard support, etc?
Hmm I suppose your right, with the spring/summer release date I wonder if they *think* they will have cupcake stable by then. This is kind of a relief for me, I just got my G1 back in early December - I'd be kinda upset to see a G2 release so fast.
The hardware is mildly better if that, so I suppose its nothing to get too excited about, I guess its a white G1 without the keyboard... Personally the keyboard was one of the bigger selling points to me buying the G1 over the iPhone. Besides my love for Google products.

BTW, this is NOT the G2, as t-mobile owns that name. The G2 will probably be a different HTC phone. That said, I agree, to me, losing my physical QWERTY keyboard is a major downgrade
I like having the physical keyboard too, and I think the G1 is a better looking phone. I'm really happy to know that I won't be wishing I had the Magic instead of the Dream!

HTC Magic Android phone, hands-on
Posted on 17 February 2009 by Vincent Nguyen
We know we said that HTC weren’t allowing live shots or video of the HTC Magic, but we couldn’t leave it at that. Non-final hardware or not, we know you guys are as excited by the Magic as we are, and still want to see it. Hands-on, the HTC Magic is everything the G1 was not: thin and lightweight, with none of the bulk G1 owners have complained about.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It also has more RAM - 192MB - so it should run quicker and be able to multitask more comfortably than the G1. The on-screen keyboard - which is only available in portrait orientation, not landscape - has letters which pop-up when you press them, as on the iPhone, which makes text entry much easier.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the non-final hardware we’ve played with, the key change are the hardware buttons on the HTC Magic’s “chin” section. The prototype has thin, sliver-style keys running under the capacitive touchscreen, together with a single button (”Menu”) to the left of the trackball. The final hardware will have four square keys under the screen, with functions switched around to leave call send/end on keys either side of the trackball.
According to Vodafone Spain, the HTC Magic will be priced between 99 Euro and 199 Euro when it launches. Still no word on pricing outside of Spain, nor when the HTC Magic will be available in the US.
We’ve got a full 1-on-1 hands-on session with the Vodafone HTC Magic tomorrow, so expect plenty more photos and footage after that!

got it today, it's up and running like a champ! was wondering if anyone had some app or customization tips for me while I wait for the ROM chefs to catch up. I've heard quite a bit about mobile shell, is it worth it?
So far I have found the phone to be very fast and smooth, the keyboard is almost too big but I'm getting used to it. The touchscreen is very responsive, easily as good as the tilt2 I tried out, though as I've seen others opine, it's best when using fingernails I think. I'm still getting used to navigating the OS right now though.
Any word on when this phone might get dedicated forums like the others?

Congratulations on your new device! Unfortunately, XDA-Developers is an HTC device forum, and therefore won't create dedicated forums for non-HTC devices. Every device on this board, including the Sony Xperia and both Palm Treos, is an HTC, and I doubt that the HTC-only rule will change soon. However, most of the apps here will still work fine on your eXpo, and you're still welcome to discuss the device in places like the General Forum.
I'm gonna look at this phone when the pico projector comes out, but the Expo isn't at the ATT store to even touch it, yet
im using the xperia, iphone, and tilt 2 right now...i was very excited about this phone because of the snapdragon processor...but being LG i dunno if i should...maybe u can post a small review...hows video playback on it there and camcorder so on etc...waiting for the pico add on as well.
indeed mine is on the way. and i'm sure spb mobile shell 3.5.1 will be one of the first few things i try out on the phone. and i'd like to check out touch response and i'll probably put chome and reStart on depending on what build of 6.5 it comes out of the box with. i hate not being able to arrange my start menu the way i like. chome and total commander really help with icon changing and subfolders. i'd look into those if you want to mod. id also check out advanced config tools. all those should work on your 6.5 smartphone without a problem
p.s. if you feel up for it and really wanna get down and dirty. you could try dumping your rom. and uploading it for us to take a look at?
also feel free to stop by and join my new social group for the lg expo / iq / monaco
http://forum.xda-developers.com/group.php?groupid=159
meh
Do I need to unlock it before it is dumped? I'll do it if you have a walk through or some instructions that you can point me toward.
Well, I spent all last night and every spare moment at work playing with the device. Installed Bing, Skyfire, Opera 10, and a few others. I made it through the day without needing a recharge. While the hardware is great, I like the heft and size very much, I think the software is still a bit rough. There's a lot of reduntdancy, and it's not as finger friendly as I'd like, even some of the newer apps, but the sensor and arrow keys and the finger nails have managed just fine. All in all it feels as though the software in general could use some optimization.
My only complaint so far is that the touch sensor isn't quite as good as the one on the new blackberries, but it works. I'm starting to get the hang of Winmo 6.5, there are some quirks with the back button that I can't tell if it's Winmo or the LG software, but the apps work with it fine.
I tried out the camera and I can safely say it beats the pants off my old G1, but that's not saying much. It has auto focus and white balance, as well as a really nice touch control interface, and the flash is powerful.
im sorely missing this keyboard on my evo 3d and have not found any suitable replacements. ill throw in $20 if someone can update it to fit qhd devices, who else is willing to contribute?
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
for how much?
come on guys, we need more support!
Here is a link to thread about a modified HTC keyboard that might be what you were looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
The OP wasn't too clear but select the 2.2 version to download
thanks, but that "high res" version is for wvga displays when the likes of the evo came out. itll work on qhd, but theres blank space on the right side of the keyboard because it has not been scaled to the new resolution
have you tried adjusting the key width and height settings within user interface of the htc ime settings?
I also vote for a qHD version, please!
Vote and Bump!
would love the htc ime keyboard for the sensation..another vote
iam with u guys! please make a update für qHD Displays. i have the htc evo 3d and dont want to use another keyboard then the IME MOD.
i would donate a few dollars too for the developer!!!
perfect keyboard, modify the layout and theme ?
perfect keyboard is pretty good, but there are several things that bug me about it to the point that i cant use it. for example, if i want a compound word that it doesnt know with most keyboards i can type in play, choose it, then type in ground and im good to go. with perfect keyboard i type in play, choose it, then start typing and it resumes trying to t9 the entire string instead of ignoring the first half that i already selected. basically kills typing in websites
oh yeah perfect keyboard is by xda, for.digit, which he is giving it free for another 2-3 days.
i bought it , got a refund today and gave him a 5 star for his hard work. its better than most of the things i've tried. maybe you can let him know about your problems
im sure its not going to cost you $20
thanks. i actually took him up on the offer last week, but with the refund you dont have rights to it which means that when i flashed a new rom id have to buy it/refund it again. i left him five stars anyway and ive talked to him a bit and plan to do so more, but for me the ime is perfect except for the resolution thing.
I know I am late...but can someone plz make a qHD version?? I tried the link posted above, I get a blank right side??
Anyhelp?
Vote and Bump! Please make version for qHD screen. I would donate!
Here is qHD version

Guess we all (webOS users) are sort of scattered under the current situation... And this forum is kind of small and generic
Let's get a picture of who is looking here for help.
Which webOS device do you have? (Note you can "vote" multiple times if you own more than one.)
How is it working?
webOS version?
Favorite tweaks?
How long have you been using webOS?
Do you do any development?
I've had my webOS phone about a month. I bought a used GSM Unlocked Pre 2 off eBay. It's running webOS 2.2.4.
I LOVE this device, am using it heavily and plan to continue to do so.
Preware is a must
UberKernel overclocking with the OnDemandTcl1200 profile + Govnah
Freetether
Lots of Top Bar patches and the Advanced Reset Options patch all make life easier
App Tuckerbox
Save/Restore
Netstat
Dr. Battery
I'm getting ready to install the SDK and will try my hand at some small things to see how far I can get.
webOS just works so nice. We all need to evangelize about it.
Just bought a palm pre 2 unlocked gsm from ebay us and shipped to Italy
played half a day with 2.1 and is very pretty, now is updating to 2.2.4, hope to see something cool!
I'm an android user and fan, but webos is beautiful!
Beware of the 2.2.4 update for the unlocked Pre2. I've had a total of 4 of these devices between myself and my wife and they've all suffered the same idiosyncrasy. For some unknown reason, after about a week of normal usage the sound for alerts vanishes requiring a soft reset. It doesn't matter if they have preware or any overclocking, a stock 2.2.4 has done this. It may be a minor irritation for some but not hearing an alert for an important email is a big thing to me.
Unless you're using your Pre2 for message sharing with a Touchpad, I strongly recommend keeping it at 2.1 until the guys at webosinternals figure out if there's a patch for this. I've jumped ship to Windows Phone 7.5 but I still keep an eye on the happenings at webOS because I love the UI. I still find myself swiping at my phone and feeling like an idiot.

Thanks, unfortunately finished updating before reading this...
The bad thing is that in 2.1 the google account sync wasnt working well, in 2.2.4 is flawless (as can i see by now).
The pre2 is my secondary phone, so i do not need it 365days a year but only when i go out for work.
Thank you anyway

I was one of the lucky firesale TP buyers and love the thing. I have installed CM9 on it so I could get some apps like Netflix but webOS is a beautiful thing.
I just received my Touchpad and rooted it to dual boot. I'm typing this from the Android side now, but I'm impressed with WebOS. I've worked on several Android tablets, but this is my first WebOS toy. Wish there were more apps, but what a nice screen!
Sent from my Dual-booting Touchpad using Tapatalk 2
I've noticed that even the hard-core Android fans love webOS once they get to know it. The sad fact is that even with HP's mishandling (I'm really trying to be civil), i don't see how webOS could have survived. The lack of apps was a mortal wound that couldn't be closed. Just look at all the comments and they sound like a scratched record, "loved the UI but needed this app or that so I loaded CM9. But use webOS most of the time". UGHHH! End of rant.
I really hope that the opensourcing can give webos a second chance.
As an android fan i must admit, android can learn very much from webos... in te days of the selling of palm, i really hoped google would buy it...

Works great - secondhand too

Quite a bit

As much as I hate to admit it, I think webOS's fate as a stand-alone OS has been sealed. My honest opinion is that what we know as webOS today will live on as a major redux of Android. It's already showing up in the form of modified Enyo apps on ICS and a modified version of touch-to-share. Being Linux-based will make it easier to incorporate the best features into Android now that the source code is being released. I still follow the threads here and on WebOS Nation because I really miss webOS but the lack of development and sub-par hardware makes it impossible for me continue with it. My work requires certain apps that webOS simply doesn't have and that's such a shame. Us old dinosaurs (yeah, I've been through a mid-life crisis and a heart attack so I qualify) are very resistant to change but there's nothing wrong with keeping up with new technologies.
The first is palm pre plus, second palm pre2, now htc hd2
Pre- & TouchPad
My pre is retired and used as a media player on webOS 2.1 30% of the time, it works every time lol. It's really showing it's age but I keep it going because I just can't seem to find a capable media player on Android that will pass media metadata to my receiver as well as webOS 2.1
TouchPad is stock and fantastic the way it is, no problems.
I own a HP Pre3 running 2.2.4, bought it on ebay.
I'm using Advanced Device Menu tweaks and some browser tweaks.
Didn't get into developing now, may I try to get into it when I get more time.
What I still miss is a onscreen keyboard. Having that and maybe a few more apps, webOS would be THE KILLER OS.
I just have the touchpad
I can't add votes to the poll
I just picked up a pair of Veers (one black, one white). Can't wait. They should be here early next week. I get to practice Dogbert's Unlock method and then figure out how to use Impostah to put a profile on them without wiping my Pre 2 so I can test drive them.
Another dinosaur here
I never got into the smart phone thing so I missed out on the pre and pre plus rush. I'm still looking for a pre plus or pre2 but have 2 touchpads. While there are advantages to android with the many apps out there, I continue to operate with webOS on the touchpad. I am a purchasing officer for an export corporation and use my touchpad daily for the business. The thing I don't understand is the common rant from folks who say that their webOS device is useless without android. What apps do you (really) need that are not available within the webOS or preware market? I find that everything I need to operate my business is available within the webOS community. My touchpad allows me to be productive in the field. I do not have android installed on my touchpad. My wife had classicnerd android on hers but that's for the games.
I have had to use a few work arounds for issues like a lack of camera but otherwise, the touchpad performs very well for my business needs. Yes, I could do more with an iPad or another (pure) android tablet but would be required to spend a great deal of cash for a minimal return.
Those of you who really want to be productive, tell me what app you find in android that you can't find a webOS equivalent for. Chances are that you could be surprised.
just sayin........
