Just the mere thought of Google developing a cellular phone has sent the wireless phone community into a tail spin. It is the fear of the all-knowing and powerful Google that has companies sharpening up their technologies faster than Y2Kers depleated the bottled water supply in 1999. They are scared, because if Google comes out with a Gphone, it’s gonna be amazing.
But before you trade in your Razor, Chocolate, iPhone, you may want to head on over to Silicon’s Favorite Gossip Mag, Valleywag and read their take on the scam situation. They seem to think that the GPhone is fake, that Google has no intention of putting out a phone and instead is using the publicity to drop 3rd party applications:
Google’s wireless software efforts will pull in existing mobile versions of Gmail and YouTube, among other Google services. But that’s not the key part, as my colleague Gizmodo editor Brian Lam has speculated. No, instead, Google’s hoping to establish a software platform that’s open to third-party developers.
Would I be disappointed if all the GPhone hype was a myth..yes..but then again I’m still waiting for my Commodore 64 to explode.
