Apple iPhone, move over. At least, that"s the hope of Google and Research in Motion as they ready the first serious competitors to the iPhone, in the "mobile 2.0" market that Apple invented.
Later this month, the first Google Android OS-based phone, HTC"s G1, will come on the market through the carrier T-Mobile. And in November, RIM"s first BlackBerry that supports real Web pages is scheduled to debut. While there have been many pathetic iPhone imitations to date, these two devices look to be the real deal, with hardware, software, and OS capabilities able to compete with Apple"s carefully constructed, elegant platform.
