The GPhone: Two Letters More Advanced than the iPhone

Web 1979 has an interesting editorial piece about the GPhone. BusinessWeek has also speculated about what Google is planning to do. This article from Top Lead Generators even includes a picture.

I must be forthright: The thought of a cheap, mobile platform for accessing the internet gets me all hot and bothered. The rumors flying around have placed the price of this thing anywhere from $100 to free, and the rumors about the cost-of-service have been similarly wide-ranging. My favorite part of the rumor involves using Gchat to provide free wireless telephony (think Skype) while your GPhone is connected to a WiFi network.

While the iPhone is certainly a watershed device in the world of mobile communication, Apple should be on their toes lest Google come in and steal their thunder. As Mat from Web 1979 said, keep those geeky little eyes peeled at Christmastime...
