Google phone is coming, believe it or not

Quote

People who have seen Google's prototype devices say they aren't as revolutionary as the iPhone. One was likened to a slim Nokia Corp. phone with a keyboard that slides out. Another phone format presented by Google looked more like a Treo or a BlackBerry. It's not clear which manufacturers might build Google wireless devices, though people familiar with the project say LG Electronics Co. of South Korea is one company that has held talks with Google. Google has already lined up a series of hardware component and software partners and signaled to carriers that it's open to various degrees of cooperation on their part, the people say.

Its nothing new, google has been in talks about designing a phone for a year now with word that a prototype has been floating around but no one has seen anything except for now and eew is all I have to say about that.

Don't count google out just yet. They have a variety of business going for them. Their search engine is the most used search engine in the world, they have their a chat service, their own e-mail setup which filters spam by scanning for keywords, they own youtube, they have their own mapping system, they have their own satellite pictures of Earth (Google Earth), Google Apps, and more! So don't be so quick to knock google out of the competition with it's GPhone.

That will take a while, until we finally see a decent prototype, add about a year to that and maybe then... we will have the google phone. I dont know if it will really work out, google is trying to expand to many areas, I dont think they will be as good at them since they wont be able to focus on all of them, I doubt they will ever beat the Iphone, apple has years of experience building products, their design is really nice though quite expensive. I think the google phone will sort of be like what the iriver is to the ipod.

News to me. Microsoft is also developing a phone but they don't have a carrier.

The looks of it are thin and breakable. I see things that could go wrong but with everything google has (Earth, Search, ECT.) it should come out.

Who will use the phone? T-Mobile, Verizon?

Looks like a small IPOD or PDA.

I really don't like the idea of a phone crashing (it WILL crash because it came from Microsoft). I sure hope that they provide some sort of cables to hook it to the computer and an installation CD. Also, there would also be a new breed of phone viruses, which we have never seen before. It better have some sort of warrenty because I am sure the actual components of the phone are going to fry as well (remember the problems with the Xbox 360).

This is one among the lots of hoaxes happening in the forums. How can google suddenly come up with such a solution. If there is something like that, why wont google officially announce about such a stuff to the world. Lets not create unnecessary hoaxes like this till google officialy tells us something about this......
