I just received my G1 phone from T-Mobile. This is a great little device, and as the prices fall, it will make for a great secondary embedded system.
What I mean as a secondary embedded system is, for years, developing a computing platform from scratch has been extreamly expensive, as the number of devices needed for a particular application use would severely hamper the sellability of the product. Now that the G1 is out, with it’s S/D Ram, 802.11b/g wireless, bluetooth and gps integrated into an open-source O/S in a 3×2″ package, writting real-world applications to solve real problems may get fun, and affordable again.
