T-Mobile tripled their original request from HTC, why ?
Just because all of 1.5 million G1 phone that T-Mobile has requested from HTC have been Pre-sold, just that. :)
But Google is working with T-Mobile to make sure that the G1 launch be flawless, just because they know that given all the hype around the Android, a weak or disappointing first example could turn a lot of prospective buyers off entirely. If Android plataform does not acomplish their prospective expectation, they will easily change to iPhone one, and probably will not looking back to Android again. That is what fools.com points out.
The google Android market looks much more interesting than the Apps Store from Apple, since the revenue sharing agreement allows developers kepp all of they sales money and with the Apps Store just keeps 30%. I think I would choose to developer Android applications. No, No !!! I dont think, I'm SURE :)
