[lugip] Is anyone out there

[lemasney]

The G1 is a T-Mobile phone that uses Android, a Linux based open source 
phone OS. It does not currently work with Verizon, though Verizon, at 
any time they decide to get up off their ass, can make their own Verizon 
based Android phone, at which point, many will buy them. As far as I 
know, it can be attached to any Laptop that recognizes USB storage, as a 
storage device.

Here is an appication that allows using the g1 as a modem:
