You can now customize Gmail with roughly 30 different themes.

“We’re excited by the T-Mobile G1 in a way we haven’t been by a mobile device in a long time. It might lack the drool-inducing instant allure of the iPhone 3G, but it counters that both with usable, thought-out abilities today and real promise for tomorrow. Android and the G1 are no iPhone-killer, but they’re certainly a game-changer.”
- Android Community

“Shortcomings aside, though, you’re still buying into one of the most exiting developments in the mobile world in recent memory. When you put the G1 up against, say, a Sidekick LX, it seems like a no-brainer for T-Mobile customers looking for a powerful QWERTY device — especially at $20 less. You don’t need to be a cutting-edge mobile geek or a pundit to do that math. When facing off with platforms like the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices, it holds its own, but has a lot of ground to cover before it’s really making the competition sweat. Still, if you’re just excited to be a part of a platform that’s likely going to be around for a very, very long time, the G1’s a totally reasonable day-to-day device to make it happen, and we expect some pretty great things from this corner of the market down the road.”

“If you’ve been waiting for Android then I suggest you keep waiting. The overall OS seems to be held together by duct tape and needs a lot of work. Apple focuses on the minute details to enrich the overall experience for iPhone users and Android could learn a lesson or ten from it.”
- Crunchgear

“Despite all the UI quirks and bad design decisions, it’s still better than other smartphone OSes out there. It’s not perfect, but for people who like tinkering, its cons are outweighed by its pros such as Gmail and the Marketplace. Hopefully Android updates and more ports of Google apps will augment not just future phones but this one too. This isn’t something you’re going to give your mom for Christmas, but if you’re an adventuresome gadget guy with some money to spend ($179) on a totally new, pretty exciting venture, then why not?”
- Gizmodo

“So there’s your G1 report card: software, A-. Phone, B-. Network, C.

But get psyched. Although the ungainly T-Mobile G1 is the first Android phone, it won’t be the last; Android phones will soon come in all shapes and sizes, and on all kinds of networks.”
- NY Times

“As you can see, Android on the G1 is a sweet setup, if a bit unfinished, and as my love/hate relationship veers more often into hate these days, it’s tempting to make the switch—but I’m not, just yet”

Sportswear maker Nike looks set to steal the limelight at this year’s summer Beijing Olympics with its latest innovation, the Flywire track shoes. The company will supply the U.S. track and field team with two pieces of Flywire footwear–the Zoom Victory Spikes and Zoom Matumbo.

Already creating quite a buzz in the industry with its revolutionary lightweight construction, the Flywire design is said to be inspired by the cables from a suspension bridge.

It basically makes use of a strong Vectran thread arranged in a fan-shaped pattern at anchor points around the shoe. The result is a shoe that’s extremely light, yet reportedly cheap and easy to manufacture.

It’s official. Starting this fall, Xbox 360 owners can stream movies directly from Netflix.

After the scheduled fall software upgrade to the Xbox 360, Xbox Live Gold members who also belong to Netflix can choose and watch movies on demand. This is in addition to the DVDs that you get in the mail, the old fashioned way.
