Emulator gives you the T-Mobile G1 experience now

October 5, 2008

Yeah, the wait for October 22 (or after) is absolutely excruciating; trust us, we know. We’ll take each scrap of information and imagery we have the ability to to hold us over until G1s begin showing up on doorsteps in a few weeks, but T-Mobile’s really gone above and beyond the call of duty here by setting up a surprisingly functional and feature-complete emulator to satisfy our urges to touch icons and click buttons. Obviously, you’re not going to get a GPS lock, so don’t get your hopes up that you’re going to be playing around with Street View or anything wild like that — in fact, most apps lead you to a “this screen isn’t fully functional” message — but it’s got more goodies than the Android SDK’s emulator, and it’s just enough to get you acquainted with the phone’s personality by the time it’s actually in your paws.
