From engadget.com -------------------------------- App and developer functionality Peer-to-peer connectivity over Bluetooth for gaming and other info-swapping. Paid apps will have the potential to be subscription fee-based, and can include optional paid content that can be bought from right inside the app. Developers can now build apps that call out to Google Maps, and can also finally bring Apple-blessed turn-by-turn to the phone. Devs can also connect with hardware accessories over in their apps now, such as a blood pressure monitor -- or perhaps a keyboard? Connectivity works through the dock connector or over Bluetooth. Long-promised push functionality will at last be included, but apps won't run in the background. Developers can add streaming video and audio to their apps, along with in-game voice use. General functionality Cut, copy and paste. At last! You can shake the phone to undo and redo the action, and it works with both text and photos, allowing Mail to send multiple photos at a time.

sad that they didn't announce Flash for Safari. I want to watch hulu (as well as other ahem...work-related videos)
all in all they did a very good job ..even tho these are features that most other phones already have..better late then never...
I believe the only bluetooth profile the iPhone has currently is the BT headset. But honestly I never noticed most of the other profiles it doesn't have. True, but how many features does the iPhone have the other phones don't? Multi-touch screens, a very useful app store and SDK, and the smugness that only comes with owning an iPhone.
*coughs* had it in my G1 from the start *coughs* Notice: this post is in no way a way to start a "G1 is better than iPhone" post, honestly, if iPhone was on Tmobile, I wouldve gotten it also, but G1 is a good alternate
ha, i work there, and have had my Tmobile phone back when they were Aerial/Voicestream back in 2000 I used to have a blackberry through Verizon but lost it back in December so I bought my G1 beginning of the month, first day i was eligible for upgrade
Oh, I see. I'm thinking about getting a new phone, possible a G1, but I'm more than likely going to milk out my current cell for a little longer.
