There are two significant host apps for (ab)using the G1: fastboot and adb. Fastboot is used to write over USB to the G1's flash, for example to flash a complete system.img or replace the T-Mobile splash screen. adb gives you access to a debug root shell on the G1 with adb shell, and also "syslog" with adb logcat.
