Google phone coming in January 2010 - may not resemble final product
You and I will of course.
Friday afternoon the buzz in Mountain View, California and on the Internet was the Google phone, dubbed by one Google employee “iPhone on steroids.”
Google handed out an unknown number of pre-release phones to employees on a non-disclosure basis but the word is out. Employees are tweeting their excitement about this new phone.
It has a touch screen and a trackball which makes it half iPhone and half Blackberry.
It runs Google’s Android OS and will incorporate some of the new toys that Google has been developing like GIS Street view. It will know where you are and give you the view.
Another new application will let you point the phone at a store and the store’s information will appear on the screen, such as menu’s, products, pricing, hours of business.
Two two big competitors in 3G cellphones – that is cell phones that substitute for Dick Tracey wrist watches – are Blackberry and iPhone.
