Our top 5 favourite applications
We jumped at the chance to play with the T-Mobile G1 in the office, and these are our top
five applications:
Maps
Ok, so we've all looked on Google Maps™ for the satellite view of our house. But what's even better is you can get directions from wherever you are using the GPS, so you'll never get lost again.
Android Market™
Android Market™ has loads of applications already waiting for you to download, whatever you're into. There's one that makes your phone purr, plus lots of practical ones too.
IM
You don't need a PC for Instant Messaging anymore, just a T-Mobile G1. Just log in to your favourite IM provider and chat, chat and chat some more on the QWERTY keyboard.
PAC-MAN
Who doesn't love this classic game? You can download it to your G1 completely free from Android Market, and get away from the baddies using the roller ball or touchscreen.
Android™
The open source Android operating system on the T-Mobile G1 has been developed by Google so any developer can create applications.
You can personalise your T-Mobile G1 by choosing your favourite applications and downloading them direct to your G1 from Android Market - it's just one click away!
