Many people were surprised by the sparse accessories which are included with the Google G1 phone. In the first few weeks after the release of the Google phone, sales for G1 accessories nearly matched the volume of the sale of the new Dream Phone itself!
1GB of memory is not enough for many T-Mobile G1 phone owners, so sales of the 4GB, 8GB and 16GB memory sticks have been brisk. The reason for this is the size and amount of the song downloads and photograph storing being done with smartphones like the G1.
Most people will buy a case, cover, screen protector or pouch to protect their G1 from accidental bumps and scratches, and even from being dropped. Clip on leather pouch is one accessory that is selling especially well. Silicone cases, hard cases, plastic skins all come in a variety of colors.
Car chargers, antenna and bluetooth headsets are available for the Google G1 phone. Those three are essential for those people who plan to safely use their G1 phones in their cars. Other accessories available are speakers, USB cables for data transfer to your home computer, and stylus pens.
That is just the beginning, and don’t forget about the applications. The latest application sounds great – a monthly fee for a GPS receiver application. How much smarter can a smart phone get?
