Ok, I see what you mean.
Although:
- Web n Walk (it's on T-Mobile, right?) is £5 a month for "unlimited"
internet.
- Google is a brand non-geeks trust - if they market it with Google
search, Gmail, YouTube and Maps they're laughing. As Apple rightly
surmised, people do want the lighter side of geek functionality, just
not the headache of getting it to work.
I think most phones can do what the iPhone does anyway - they just
make it so difficult people don't bother. My sister wanted an iPhone
on the strength of its Facebook webapp alone, until I pointed out she
could have similar access with her 3G-enabled Sony Ericsson and Opera
mini.
I guess my point is that it's down to how well it works and how well
they market it, natch.

But this is the point right.
If you’re not a geek, why would you consider the Gphone which looks
like those scary windows mobile devices?
Unlike Apple, there won't be any special data plans or special price
points.
