Though myTouch 3G according to some analyst is an effort too little too late when compared to Apple iPhone 3GS but still T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G loaded with Google Android can kick Apple’s butt.
By rejecting the Google voice app from iTunes App store, Apple gave T-Mobile myTouch 3G a boost as Google Voice App which can run on myTouch 3G, can make a difference for customers looking for phone with Google Voice.

The myTouch 3G was formerly known as the HTC Magic, will eventually replace T-Mobile’s G1 Android phone, which has had sales of more than one million. Unlike the Palm Pre, but like the Apple iPhone 3G S, the myTouch 3G won’t have a keyboard. It also looks similar to the iPhone. The iPhone 3G S has more memory than the My Touch 3G. Feature wise both phones have all the latest smartphone functionality.

When it comes to price factor, iPhone is a clear winner as the price options for the myTouch 3G is not attractive. The new phone comes in at $199 (same as the iPhone 3G S and the Palm Pre) with a two-year T-Mobile contract. But for $199 you only get a myTouch 3G with a 4GB memory card (microSD, user-upgradable up to 16GB), while for the same price you can grab a brand-new iPhone 3G S or Palm Pre with either 16GB or 8GB (Pre) of storage.

It will take some time for Google to provide the number of Apps to the Android operated phones as compared to the 65000 apps available right now for iPhone 3GS on iTunes Store.

Top Reasons why Google Android will be a better rival than the iPhone

Google’s Android OS powered phones were in most of the tech blogs since the past few days with first the sneak peak, and then the hands-on reviews of the phone which first came with T-Mobile. It is said to be one of the best phones around and competitor for the World’s dominating mobile company Nokia, and to the best gadget of the year Apple iPhone.

And am sure its going to beat the Apple iPhone sales and would be really loved, except the design which does not seem so sleek to me. Here are a few reasons why one would love the Android phone when compared to the Apple iPhone

1. The open operating system

The Android OS powered by Google is an open system, which can be played with by the developers and many cool apps and games would be coming in, and there would be everything available for free, unlike the paid apps as in the App store by Apple. And being a Google product, developers would get really handy with Android.

2. Faster than iPhone

iPhone was already fast, but the reviews of Android phone already state that the phone is faster than the Apple iPhones. Speed always counts, and Android beats iPhone.

3. No Jailbreaking needed

Its an open operating system, so there will be no hacking in or jailbreaking needed for its OS. It will be easy to customize too.

4. Online applications integration

Google products like Docs, calender and maps with Street view, everything would be just a small work to integrate into the Android mobile. Apple does not have those kind of apps, so no integration needed.

5. QWERTY Sliding keyboard

The phone does not look too bulky but it still has a QWERTY keyboard, sliding out when u need it. This is not in iPhone, there is a touch-screen there, which is not so user-friendly for people not good at touching the screens.

6. Format supporting better than Apple

Apple OS is something which does not become easily compatible with many file formats which Windows and Linux does. So Google is working well with this, trying to make the Android phone support almost all file formats.
