Today is the day of the long awaited arrival of the Google G1 Android phone to the UK. The Phone was released this morning at around 7am in the United Kingdom. It has many features which include GPS, a bar-code scanner, a digital camera, flip open screen, and many others.

Google is taking a huge risk with the phone because it is operating on a different operating system than windows mobile GPS, which will compete with all other smart phones on the market. The application that is amazing users at the moment is the barcode scanner, which uses the GPS to scan products and find the cheapest price in the area, which is truly amazing.
