Plus, G-phone sounds infinitely cooler than iPhone.]]>Mar 6th 2007 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/
But... don't get me wrong.. I'd LOVE to see the Google phone come in much cheaper and cause some serious competition between them and the iPhone.

It's just my personal opinion, but I think for what you get, the iPhone is totally worth the price. ]]>Mar 6th 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/but I'm not terribly interested in the phone aspect...
I want a shiny black dark chocolate bar with full screen touch screen...
(with some decent apps).

Either way, competition is good for everybody. I too would love to see Google make their phone.]]>Mar 6th 2007 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/

Neglecting everything but the mark-up chain. Starting off at half of $600... $300 * 1.25 * 1.25 * 1.25 = $586. Heck, the iPhone may only cost $100 in material. But adding R&D and all other variable and fixed costs, $600 to the end-user sounds like a fairly good deal.

Anyhow, back to topic, let's find out more about the Google phone. That's definitely a better alternative than the iPhone, in my eyes. And I haven't even heard the specs on the Google variety yet!]]>Mar 6th 2007 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://advancedmediacommittee.typepad.com/emmyadvancedmedia/2007/03/media_30_news_e.html

They will obviously do the whole country.

The iPhone and Google Phone looks cool -- but aren't they missing the "next big thing"?

That will come with bandwidth - maybe then the camera on the phone can be used for video-conferencing, not just crappy stills.

I see no reason why the Google phone won't be able to stream TV. Unlike the I-phone, I'm confident it'll have a 3G chip suited for large data streams. Google Rocks!]]>Mar 6th 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/

Apple's iPhone is a great ploy...buy it at a ridiculously expensive price and when the battery gets crap in a year, buy our newest one or pay the cost of a different brand's phone replacing the battery?!? Please, please do better than this Google!]]>Mar 15th 2007 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/

Some silly report comes out with a speculative cost of the materials in the iPhone (including a 'license for osx'?... like you could ever put a price on something that will never be sold)... and the tech community takes it as gospel, and then goes on to judge the company for the potential 'profit' being made.

So, just to be sure, there is no known final spec list for the guts of the iPhone. Now, take the price of the device and its functionality and decide if it's a fair price for yourself. No? Fine, then it's too expensive for you, don't buy it.

As for myself, I like to look at the total cost of using a device. Like, the last cheap phone I've gotten, I've spent over $2000 over the past 2 years to use it. And it's a sucky phone for sure. I'd GLADLY pay $2500 over the same time period for a much more funtional and easy to use device.]]>Mar 6th 2007 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/Google comes out with a phone, i would buy it right away]]>Mar 6th 2007 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/06/more-details-emerge-on-the-mythical-google-phone/They don't know how to sell to the consumer like Nokia or Moto knows.

I think they are developing a platform with Samsung but eventually they will (could - after all this is a speculation) release the design to the market while giving Samsung a time to market lead.

Samsung is a low cost manufacturer and will be able to maintain its position as a leader in this market against Nokia, Moto, RIMM and others who
rely on Microsoft O.S. for Smartphones.

Google essentially wants to do to the Cellphone what IBM did to the PC back at the eightees when it relased the PC design to the public and will concentrate on the SW side.
The results of that move created Microsoft and google wants to be in Microsoft position but this time with 1B devices released to the market every year and growing.

This will be very cheap or almost free device like Eric Schmidt visioned in one of his talks to the media due to the competition between OEM's and due to the subsidy of advertising.

There will be room for gPhone and iPhone in the market like there is a room for a MAC and a PC in the market.

One will be cheap network device and the other will be reach expensive multimedia capable device.

Google will expropriate the smartphone and eventually the Celular handset market from the current manufacturers and give it to the wide market to drive the device cost lower excatly like what happend in the PC market.

iPhone could be to the gPhone what MAC is to the PC
