Is The G1 Bringing Competition?

Look, I can tell you guys all about the G1 till your nose bleeds, but at the end of the day, we all know that it's all about the money. So, is anyone buying it?

Laura Holson writes in the NY Times that she 'wandered down to the T-Mobile store at Ninth Ave. and 43rd St. in New York City to see what kind of crowds — if any — were lining up to buy the new T-Mobile G1 which went on sale Wednesday' and saw no lines out the door, no crowding at the counter, and a complete lack of crowds.

To be realistic about it, I don't think anyone expected iPhone-like lines forming anywhere. Still, it would have been nice to see some serious competition for a change. I've said it before: the iPhone is the gold standard when it comes to mobiles, something that the source also states. What would it take to knock it off its perch? Whatever it is, we haven't seen it yet.
