Google's new phone

Dear friends and All. Google indroduced new Phone called G-Phone..

The G1 phone, the first mobile handset running the new Google-backed Android software, promises to change your life. You’ll be able to locate where your friends are without having to call them. You won’t need a home computer to find the best price for a pair of shoes or a new camera; the G1 will tell you where the best price is in the nearest shop. You can leave the A-Z at home – this phone will do things no dedicated GPS device can. And in the future you might even be able to use it to pay for your groceries.
Does it really work? InGear had an exclusive hands-on G1 testing session, and as we found over the course of several hours, Google’s Android software combined with this clever handset does deliver, though it wasn’t possible to test all the applications in the time available.
First, the G1 is packed with fresh ideas. A compass overlaid on Google Maps lets you navigate by rotating the phone. ShopSavvy is a program that promises to let you scan the barcode of a product in a shop and then bring up images and data about the item. BioWallet stores sensitive information that requires you to sign the touchscreen to access or – in true sci-fi style – undergo a retinal identification scan. Downloadable programs such as Lifeware tell people in your social network where you are or recently were (don’t use this if you’re having an illicit affair).
On many smartphones, adding program icons and shortcuts to software will soon clutter up the home screen. With Android your desktop cleverly extends beyond the edges of the phone’s 3.2in LCD screen. Flick your finger across it to the left or right to reveal this extra space. Swipe downwards at the top of the screen and a menu descends like a window shade, containing the phone’s messaging options.
