Google and their G-Phone

Reportedly, allegedly, and maybe even theoretically Google just might be giving a sneaking and a peeking to some manufacturers in hopes of getting some positive feedback in regards to both design and software capabilities of its oft rumored mobile phone. Rumors and conjecture are that it will be run on an open source Mobile Operating System but there really is no way to confirm that, however this does make sense as Google is new to the mobile phone game and will try to stay completely independent instead of having to purchase and license an OS from another company. Open source also opens up the possibilities of developers working to improve the device for nothing but the pure joy of it.

Of course at this point in development, no real concrete details have come to light but it will most likely have virtually every option for connecting to the Internet (Search & AdSense), blog administration (Blogger), video recording and playback (YouTube), not to mention VoIP products that correlate well to their recent acquisition (Grand Central). Of course all of these Google owned sites will have everything to do with the cell phone phone that will make them serious bank from some wireless provider who will do virtually anything to get in bed with the biggest player in the series of tubes that hold all those 1’s and 0’s.

Speculation will run rampant for the next few months but some early reports are saying that the G-Funk Phone doesnt have the beauty of the iPhone, the keyboard of a BlackBerry, the software of a Nokia N92, or even have sharks with freakin’ laser beams. Of course thats what speculation is all about and rarely do any of the rumors ever hit on the mark. I for one, look forward to an open source phone that has a huge company behind it willing to do almost anything to make a product successful up to and including being able to use the phone as a Wii-mote, a police taser, or as a mobile phone book that can only hold one number just as long as it belongs to super uber model Marissa Miller.
