Well, it's not much to go on but there is a little bit of buzz on Twitter that the G1 will see and update by the end of January. Most people are assuming this update will bring Android 2.x to the old beater. I'm taking this for what it is. We'll see. Via Android... Read more » DroidDog rooted G1 giveaway!

Well, a hacked version is, anyway. You probably remember when the instructions hit xda-developers, but those were for tinkerers higher up in the geek chain than most of us. These new ones'll do for your average modder. Just tonight someone emailed me the file used to update Cyanogen 4.2.3.1 to the latest Google Maps, but I was too busy writing a paper to run...

Serious tinkerers can get the Droid exclusive, Google Navigation, right now. The rest of us can wait for what will likely be a short period of time before some clever chef makes Google Nav available to everyone with a rooted G1, via cooked ROM. Seriously though, aren't all G1's rooted now? Via... Read more » Steal a G1 or myTouch from WalMart
Wait, wait... that sounds bad. Not bad enough to change, but I should clarify. WalMart has knocked a grip of bills off of the original costs of these phones, and if you're willing to sign a two-year agreement you can get yourself a G1 for $48.88 or a myTouch for $98.88. At those prices, you may as well have an extra just for tinkering. Via... Read more » HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 with Google
