The G1 seems like a mixed bag. It doesn't appear to excel in any capacity, and it has some big drawbacks - no headphone jack, slow browser, basic media player, etc. Adding to that the fact that it's only available through T-Mobile's sketchy network, and it doesn't seem like the kind of product that will set the world on fire. It's good that Google was able to get a phone out for the holiday season, but I'm thinking that Android's story will play out more in 2009 than this year.
