It IS a garage door opener!
Nice to be right, once in a while. I received many comments on my first post about the G1, when I claimed it was a garage door opener (actually, my wife did...). Some people said I was too harsh on T-Mobile and Google.
Today, I was vindicated. IntoMobile reports the G1 is actually a garage door opener. And it is even open source!

I knew sooner or later we would have seen this post here !
That not only gives credit to famous italian creativity and farsightedness ;) but also to open source.
The hacking spirit is directly related to the openness of a platform and even if I can get some domotics software for my iPhone (paying 20$ at least) it will never be the same.
Within open source, an hack can easily get a dev community around and become a project getting further than closed source commecial ones.
Now if we only could get an Android phone that works as a garage door opener without looking as one ..

That's pretty cool concept - Garage door opener installation is very easy to install if you take a slow careful approach to it. In fact, you can get it done in one afternoon and have it ready for use that same evening.

G1 as a garage door opener? Cool! I'd love to have a fully automated garage door. Bad news is that I need to provide my garage its own web server.
