Google – the internet search leader – launched their G Phone today. The G Phone developed by HTC will be available in US markets through T-Mobile on October 22, 2008.

The cost of T-Mobile G1 Phone will be $179. This was much cheaper of what was expected. This Google G-Phone is developed to compete with Apple’s hot selling iPhone.

The operating system of Google G Phone is Android – an open source operating system. Google has started a project called Android Developer Challenge I or ADC I to develop Android based applications by outside developers much earlier. There will be two rounds and the total prize money will be USD10 million.

The Google G1 Phone will be available in the UK market in November 2008 and it will be available in select EU markets next year. This is very quite reasonable time compared to Apple iPhone.
