THE Wall Street Journal claims it has the inside leg measurement of the forthcoming Google phone.
It is reporting that Google plans a series of announcements over the next two weeks about Google mobile-phone software.
Apparently the "Gphone" will bundle together most Google applications, including search, maps, Youtube, instant-messaging, on a mobile platform.
It does not seem that the Google is interested in making a hardware phone. Instead it wants to give away a free operating system that will run on several different models of mobile.
The WSJ cites unnamed sources as saying Google has been talking to Taiwan's HTC and South Korea's LG Electronics about making phones.
The Linux-based OS would be "open" to third-party developers, meaning that anyone could create applications for it.
The Google phone would have few restrictions, and would support GPS tracking, Wi-Fi, high-speed "3G" cellular networking and a still and video camera.
T-Mobile has also been given the nod in the US to be the phone's wireless operator of choice.
The Gphone name, which may not be used, is a mickey-take of Apple's Iphone. Of course if Google really wanted to take the Michael out of Jobs Mob they should call it the Gsus Phone.

This is very good news, thanks for bringing it to attention, I'm very much looking forward to the Gphone
T-Mobile, huh? That's funny because I'm staring at the front page of the WSJ in my hands and today's headline reads that Google is in talks with Verizon Wireless and Sprint about its mobile OS, with no mention of T-Mobile.
well the inquirer if one of few place were u can find hearsay published, Sometimes its wrong. But most of the to time Nvidia get the hump.
