Apple iPhone 3G vs Google Android G1

I don’t think after gathering the following information, I require to explain anything further. Both Apple iPhone 3G and Google Android G1 are launched few time back and would be missing some software features and applications if compared to the applications on other developed handhelds and smartphones. But if you ask me, these software features can be added later anytime by upgrading the firmware. What really matters is the hardware which according to me Apple iPhone has better than the G1. But, Google Android is only focusing only on the OS for which device needs to be developed by the mobile manufacturers.
