We all love to watch videos online. Today we have even more opportunities for this. How about watching YouTube videos while queuing at a cafe? It’s so easy at the moment.

But the quality and connection speed also matters. That’s why I consider the iPhone the best existing solution for watching video on the go. But for how long? Apple hardly needs to proceed with iPhone software development.

I would like to present you T-mobile G1, the so-called G-phone. This mobile device is the first Google Android phone. Set to launch on October 22nd for $179 on T-Mobile in the US on a two-year stint, or $399 contract-free. Starting in early November it will also be available in United Kingdom. Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and the Netherlands can expect their release in the first quarter of 2009. The G1 features WiFi and 3G radios, a 3-megapixel camera, and support for the Android Market and Amazon’s mobile MP3 store, giving owners apps and tunes on the go.
