OK, then perhaps it’s sensationalist reporting. Unless of course you would like to dispute what I stated in my initial comment.

HTC, T-Mobile and Google really did do an outstanding job here. The American mobile market is notoriously difficult for new platforms to crack, and a million sales is quite the achievement.

I wonder how many will be sold before the product is EOL’d?

[...] – Kumo zou de nieuwe naam worden van Windows Live Search. Ze moeten toch iets doen om wat dichter bij Google te komen als ze Yahoo niet meer willen kopen. (TechCrunch) – Steeds meer video’s op YouTube verschijnen in widescreen-formaat. Het lijkt zelfs het default formaat te worden. Lijkt alvast te passen in de recente MGM-deal. – Er gaan geruchten dat Eric Schmidt, de CEO van Google, naar het Obama-kabinet zou gaan. Hijzelf ontkent, maar het gerucht blijft hardnekkig. Ook zou het tijd worden voor een nieuwe CEO bij Google, na de zeven (succesvolle) jaren. – Toch nog hoopvol nieuws voor online advertising: IAB voorspelt toch een groei van 9 procent volgend jaar, ondanks de crisis. – PlaySpan is een leuke startup: het is een marktplaats voor virtuele goederen uit online games, opgestart door een 17-jarige en zijn vader. Die laatste is nu CEO en in een nieuwe kapitaalsronde haalden ze 16,8 miljoen dollar op. – Gaat het dan toch iets worden met e-readers? Amazon gaat een tweede versie van haar Kindle op de markt brengen. Een schatting zegt dat Amazon tussen de 10.000 en 30.000 van de eerste versie op de markt bracht (ze willen dat zelf niet bevestigen). (CrunchGear) – HTC boekt succes met hun G1-handheld: een smartphone met Google’s Android-systeem. Tegen het einde van het jaar zouden een miljoen units verkocht moeten zijn. Niet weinig, maar verbleekt wel bij het feit dat Apple 1 miljoen iPhone 3G’s verkocht op drie dagen tijd. (MobileCrunch) [...]

I’m excited to hear the G1 getting that kind of traction. The growth and fragmentation of the smartphone/handset market is a boon for companies like ours – http://www.rmbrME.com, cross-platform business card beaming.

The iPhone’s vibrant app market and leading-edge consumer attitudes helped us establish a lead there that would have been difficult on any other platform; we’re intrinsically supportive of the iPhones dominance. But the fragmentation of the market and rapid ascent of new handsets is great for all of us that work on cross-device services – where third parties bear the brunt of doing what the handset and software companies can’t – “standardize”.

Within the next 5 years, almost all Americans will have “smart” phones capable of internet and email – but they won’t all be iPhones. :) That means more opportunity for all of us.

There is a huhge difference between web services and selling hardware in a retail store.
Microsoft had already retail experience with their software, still their XBOX proved to be a bit more difficult.
Google not.
Apple has experience with retail hardware and software since long:; Apple II, Mac and iPod.

Nokia (#1) and Samsung (#2) have retail hardware experience.
The components in the HTC phone are from Samsung.

HTC phones has been selling really well in Asia ( I have HTC Touch and HTC Cruise in the past) and and I do hope that this time round, G1 can reach Asia asap. I cannot wait to get one.

Fanboyish fact fudging in favor of the iPhone? Odd, considering I use a G1.

I have one, Schonfeld has one.

Everybody was waiting for this phone????
This phone is the godsend. I showed it to people at work and they were gawking over it.

Please do not compare iPhone 3G’s 1-million-in-3-days record with the G1. iPhone 3G was simultaneously launched in more than 20 countries, where as the G1 was launched only in the U.S. and then in the UK more than a month later.

So yeah enough of your fanboyish fact fudging.

I agree AT&T sucks to deal with, that is the main reason I passed on the Iphone. G1 is a great phone and has been getting better since release. Lots of great new FREE apps in the store each week.

I think one of the main reasons Android powered phones and the iPhone will be big hits next year are the apps.

I know RIM is coming out with apps, but the thing is that not everyone wants a business or social networking app on their phone.

In stressful times, people need a way to relax, and having Pandora or a cool game can help you unwind.

As far as I can tell, 2009 may be the year that the iPhone battles Android (with Windows Mobile and Palm going by the wayside).

Have you seen the other smartphones on the T-Mobile line up?? It wouldn’t surprise me if half their subscriber base is switching to the G1. But the key metric is how many NEW subscribers have it won them? I bet it’s not much more than a few hardcore techies because this device is too heavy, clunky and downright UGLY to appeal to the mass consumer. The thing is HTC makes nice WinMobile devices so I wonder if this is just a stop-loss device until a nicer, cleaner G2 comes to market…

Mike I want some what you are smoking..

The REASON IS SIMPLE.. the phone rocks. Its better than an iphone, it has a removable battery, better camera, key board, compass, gravity sensor, faster 3G speed, better sync and integration, a FASTER CPU AND it costs 10% less to produce then an iphone. Also customer service (tmobile) is miles better then ATT aeh, cingular, aeh the new ATT or cingular or whatever. Oh and it’s open source, not bricked up and locked up like the iphones…

Oh and Mike stop smoking what you’ve been having.. seems to cloud your judgement

I’m sure these sales numbers will be trumpeted around the internet to justify the claim that Android can compete with the iPhone. Let this be a warning to those of you who are considering such treachery: Beware the wrath of Emperor Steve!
