The first Android-powered phone, the T-Mobile G1, is designed for use on the internet and comes with a touch screen, a QWERTY keyboard and a trackball giving the user multiple ways to interact with the phone. This handset is due to be available within the next few days.

Comparisons to the iPhone are rife, especially with the touch screen, but the G1 offers extras such as being able to press on links or run multiple tasks at once. However, it’s the Android software – which includes Google Mail, Google Maps, GPS as well as the operating system – that is getting most people excited.

Google’s Larry Page said: “This is as good a computer as you had a few years ago in this phone. When you think about that in terms of access to the internet, being able to really use the web… that’s a tremendous opportunity.”

Like any fan video, it wouldn’t be complete without criticisms of the main rivals whilst also praising many of its advantages. Whilst it’s always entertaining to see fans come up with songs like this, I’m a bit worried about the next time a company thinks they can sneak a song – or an advertisement – out in this way. Still, history shows they don’t always get too far before being detected.
