My wife and I picked up the MyTouch phones from T-Mobile a couple of
months ago.  She is technically savvy, loves her 2-year-old iPod
Touch, decidedly not a geek and has declared that she loves her
Android-based phone.

One of my co-workers and his wife have the G1.  His wife is even less
geek than my wife and she loves her G1.

My impression is that Android is not as polished and slick as iPhone,
but is very close and is quite usable for a "non-geek."

BTW, this morning we could not connect through the work firewall to
get to a vendor FTP site.  I downloaded a no-cost FTP client from
Android Market, FTPed the needed file to my phone, connected the phone
to his computer as a USB mass storage device and got the job done in
about 5 minutes.  That was so geek-fun!
