I have just got the new gphone, the G1 which is a collaborative venture: google provide the OS, HTC make the hardware, T-Mobile provide the netwwork, and loads of software is written by many people - and made available via Google marketplace.

While a few things feel a little beta still; on the whole it all hangs together very well indeed.

First of all it's worth saying the actual phone works very well, something all too easily overlooked.

The rest of the gadgets work great - well enogh for me to write this on the bus.

Interesting report on the state of mobile internet

We offer that mobile Internet is today at a point of sufficient mass to sustain a chain reaction of rapid growth in consumer adoption and, in turn, mobile Internet marketing.

According to this in the UK 16% of mobile phone users use their phones to access the internet.

These users access a much smaller range of sites on their phones than desktop users do.
