However, there are enough great songs on “The Renaissance” to make the occasional faltering of momentum no more than a minor drawback. Does Q-Tip’s “The Renaissance” live up to its name? “The Renaissance” is a passionate effort from a hip-hop veteran. Q-Tip still has creative beats, a one-of-a-kind delivery, and songs that...

And while the built-in camera is a full megapixel higher than the iPhone's, you still can't record video. One big drawback for music lovers may be the G1's lack of iTunes; without it, you can't play copy-protected songs purchased from Apple's music store unless you convert them to MP3s first. There is an unbranded music player built by Google, however, and Amazon is the default music merchant...
