What if Google Phone is Not Really a Phone at All?
Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by leo on October 9, 2007
If this is true, then Google Phone or GPhone is a big disappointment for many mobile enthusiasts anxiously waiting for the so-called next "iPhone killer".
Amid all these guessing games, the New York Times has revealed that "Google is not creating a gadget to rival the iPhone, but rather creating software that will be an alternative to Windows Mobile from Microsoft and other operating systems, which are built into phones sold by many manufacturers."
What makes it different from Microsoft is that this software will be based on open standards and more importantly, free. Lying at the end of this mysterious trail is Google's basic ambition to expand its online prowess to mobile Internet.
While this may break the hearts of many bloggers, who created this buzz in the first place, and mobile users, I find myself smiling and admiring Google's crafty machination to stir fear among established mobile companies and confuse the entire the world to protect its plans.
However, the mystery is not yet over so expect another series of twists and turns in this roller coaster
ride called Google Phone.
