Here at Ars, we saw all this coming and documented every early version of Android in this giant article. The Android 1.0-era apps have been broken for years. This isn't the first time Google has killed off older versions of Android because of higher login security. You'll never be able to see these apps work on the phones again, barring some kind of crazy login emulation system. The base OS will still work, but you won't be able to do anything people actually did on these phones. If you can't log in to Google, say goodbye to the Android Market, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Talk.
