The first Android-powered phone, T-Mobile’s G1, was officially released today.  It comes preloaded with a varity of Google Applications (Search, Maps, Gmail, Calendar, Google Talk and YouTube).  The Gmail app has most of the features of the web version (labels, conversations, etc) and Maps comes with StreetView built-in.

The phone itself isn’t a slouch either.  It has a 3.2-inch TFT-LCD (at 320×480 resolution) and a full QWERTY keyboard.  It has a 3.2 megapixel camera, and 8 gigs 1 gig of storage (plus a microSD slot).  The phone does not have video capabilities, and it’s chained to the T-Mobile network.  Undoubtedly, a unlock crack will be developed quickly.

Here is a video produced by Google showing off the phone:

And here are a bunch of photos of the device.  It sure looks slick!
