Google Phone Launch - Not If, but When
I could sit here and post 200 gPhone related rumors from the 1000s of leads we get each day, but the fact of the matter is most of these rumors are just re-hashes of the same 3-4 articles we have already mentioned here, here and here.
That being said, when we find something truly interesting and news-worthy, we will be the first to post about it here. The Boston Globe had a very interesting report citing several “unnamed sources” saying that they have seen demos of the Google Phone. Here are a couple of the key excerpts:
One entrepreneur who has seen the Google phone prototype, but asked not to be named, described it as “simpler” and not as flashy as Apple’s iPhone.
Another entrepreneur, who saw a prototype earlier this year, described three-dimensional, animated buttons on the screen. That prototype had a small QWERTY keyboard, like a Treo or a BlackBerry, rather than relying on a touch-screen, as the iPhone does.
In August, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in its cellphone project, with the hope that several different manufacturers will build the phones and multiple carriers will help distribute them, with Google supplying the software and perhaps delivering ads to the devices.
