If you’re not excited for the T-Mobile G1, maybe some fresh-squeezed Android ad material is what you need. The video shows the G1′s browser, Google Street View in Compass mode, messaging, calendar and YouTube in full prerendered goodness.
T-Mobile is no doubt enjoying the wave of popularity caused by the G1, but we hear the exclusivity will apparently only last a week, which means carriers could have just as much free reign with Android as the programmers. T-Mobile’s run with the G1 will give us an idea of how well Android performs outside of the pipe dreams of programmers, and could easily pull in carriers and manufacturers after seeing it take off, which is likely to happen with proper marketing like this behind it.
