You were the first, the front runners who accepted Android in its infancy stages by purchasing the first commercial device to feature the Android OS, the T-mobile G1. Those of you who have remained loyal and stayed true to your G1 roots will soon be rewarded with the latest version of Android, 2.0 or 2.01 known by many as Eclair. According to various sources the problem with the G1 has always been the small system partition of 70MB which is used by 99% of capacity by Android 1.5 and Android 1.6. Thankfully we have huge news today straight from the devs at Android and T-mobile that they’ve found a way around this limitation.
Early adopters will finally catch a break on the T-mobile G1′s very soon in early 2010 with an official Android 2.0 release. You will not longer have to root your G1, your official release is on it’s way via an Over The Air update (OTA).

Just my luck, I’m in a bit of pickle, I have had my iphone 3G for the past couple of years and it’s been good. It’s my understanding that Apple has a new operating system coming out called OS 4 and it’s supposed to be adding some new bells & whistles to the iPhone 3G. I actually just bought Verizon’s new HTC Incredible the HTC Incredible and it is an incredible phone, way better than the Apple iPhone 3Gs, BUT I’m hearing that Apple is supposed to be coming out with a completely redesigned iphone altogether, and it’s supposed to be really nice but no one has any ideas as to when and Apple isn’t saying a thing. Should I keep my HTC Incredible, that I have 30 days to test and give back if I don’t want to keep it, or should I give it back, keep my current iPhone 3G and wait for the release for the new iPhone- tough to to choose.
