The T-Mobile G1 (the first of the so-called gPhones) may be selling like hot cakes, but that doesn't mean it and the platform it runs on, Google's Android OS, has gained the same level of mindshare with the consumers as Apple's iPhone.

Take the chart below from ComScore, for example.

It shows that when it comes to Internet searches, the iPhone leaves gPhone(s) in the dust. ComScore determined that folks performed searches for iPhone 550 percent more than for gphone, google phone, G1 and android (as it relates to Google) combined.

Granted, Google and the open handset alliance (OHA) - the cosortium behind Android - has done an excellent job of garing support for Android from mobile industry as a whole. However, it appears they've still got their work cut out for them if they want bring awarness of their mobile platform up to the same level iPhone.
