To keep the price reasonable, T-Mobile and Google packed up the G1 Phone with the bare basics. Within days of its release, sales for accessories for the Google phone were selling as briskly as the G1 Phone itself.

The first thing people were buying in Google phone accessories was more memory. The memory cards, also called memory sticks, are available in 1 GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB. The phone itself comes with only 1GB of memory, not enough for today's smart phone habits. People are downloading songs and storing photos, both are memory hogs.

Silicone cases, hard plastic cases, and plastic skins are all very popular Google phone accessories. People want to protect their smart phones from damage by being bumped around or even dropped. Screen protectors are a nice accessory to have as well. Clip-on leather pouches are the ultimate in protection.

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?
