Google phone G1 promises to be a fun, powerful Web-centric handheld when it launches on Oct. 22. The G1 starts out looking like a somewhat chunky (4.6" x 2.1" x .62") PDA-phone, topped by a big 320x480 touch screen. Below the screen are five buttons and a small, slightly slippery track ball. Slide the screen to the right and turn the device 90 degrees, though, and it reveals a full QWERTY keyboard of slightly rubbery, nicely separated keys. There's a miniUSB charging port on the bottom, and a MicroSD memory card slips into a difficult-to-open slot to the right of the keyboard. On the back, there's a 3-megapixel still camera.

It usually the 2nd version of a device will be a important enhancement in look and features. When do you expect Google to release G2 (or the next version) phone?

*Note: Apple iPhone was initially introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007, and the next version on July 11, 2008. So Apple took about a year to release the next version.
