A few hours after T-Mobile formally debut its much awaited HTC G1 running on Android OS this morning videos started to popup online including this one on YouTube. Couple of out of this world catch phrases like “Newerer”,”funnerer”,”smarterer”, “connecteder” etc.. but looking at this morning demo feed it looks like it has a potential to be “betterer” than iPhone.

Just a reminder if you heard Jobs “Let’s Rock!” speech you should now heading your URL to Apple.com to see if those improvement he mentioned is just a matter of firmware update.

From 2gb to 64gb storage how cool is that?.. did I say it also sporting a GPS system? Well, don’t jump just yet, it’s just a rumor about the new generation of iPod Touch coming. Im not surprised that it needed that much storage juice primarily because it has to support the GPS data and maps.

But if this rumors are true then I might need to get ready current aging Garmin for retirement and switch to iPod Touch.

I thought we’re currently on recession but according to AppleInsider report that Apple issued a bulletins to some of its partner strongly suggesting that they should stock their inventory with iPods and MacBooks because these item will become extremely limited in coming weeks

Apple “strongly suggested” that resellers bring in—or place immediate lump orders for—approximately 4 weeks worth of their top selling iPod models. Supplies of the players would start to become extremely limited in the next seven days, the bulletin said.

Maybe Apple is expecting the economy to jump once the holiday seasons comes. Well, I hope so too!
