As far as the googlephone, that's cool. You know, Google, Apple, whoever. As long as it's someone who provides a product people actually want producing this phone, instead of those re-treads over at Motorola, Samsung, LG and SE.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/not paying AT&T or others $100 for 56kb speed with caps.

Uh, what are you talking about?

I'm not much of a Google fan, but grand central at least looked interesting. It wasn't fugly, just clean cut. I don't usually prefer Google apps. first above all others, but at least it has a clean look.

And have you seen Vista's UI? Looks pretty elegant to me. Even XP SP2's bevel toolbar looks quite nice.

You are the loser user. ]]>Aug 3rd 2007 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/

As the Spanish proverb goes: "Better suffer a known evil than change for uncertain good"

You're assuming that whomever replaces Apple and Google would not adopt the same arrogant and deceptive tactics.

Let us all know when you find this Utopian corporation.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/
First, they try to convince the existing networks to open their platforms to 'google-compatible' devices.
Then, they mock up their own prototype to prove to the networks that they're very serious, even if the other handset makers aren't interested.
Next, they try to get the FCC to guarantee them a legal 'in' to every mobile device on the 700mhz spectrum.
Lastly, they maintain their threat to bid on the 700mhz spectrum, and force their way in if necessary.

At this point, they've got a credible answer for each angle on the mobile market, and the existing networks are going to have to leave _some_ hole open - lest they wind up competing against a true google mobile network. And that's probably the last thing they want. (but I'd love to see it)

Because - contrary to what valleywag may think - Google doesn't care about money from the handset like Apple, or money from the contract like Verizon. They're gonna make most of their money from the advertisers, by providing kickass free apps on your handset, and from the corporations by providing instant automatic integration with google app server data.

And google knows its necessary. Because as smart phones take off, people are going to be doing less and less through their desktop. And in the handset space, google apps are an also-ran. The biggest threat to google (and microsoft) is mobile.
The same way that browsers are increasingly making your desktop OS irrelevant (who cares what it is so long as it can get you to youtube/facebook/etc), a clear mobile winner will make the entire desktop world far less relevant (who cares what it is, so long as it can sync with your phone).]]>Aug 3rd 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/
Let's just forget about what people use computers for, like games...(Windows), software development (Windows/ Linux), video/ graphic editing (Mac), right, let's completely disregard any kind of business applications that may be tied in with the Operating System of use.

We can use Mac OS to run our Internet servers, right?]]>Aug 3rd 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Google releasing a phone that is a competitor to the iPhone.

Why? Sorry to disagree but I don't know that they worked together all that much. The webmail that actually works best on the iPhone is Yahoo mail. Support for gmail is only through POP which actually isn't all that great. It doesn't even synch gmail contacts and you have to subscribe to google calander through iCal to get that to work. So far, the little pin dropping thing in maps and the stock quote are the closest things I see on the iPhone as evidence that Apple and Google are as intertwined as folks want to believe. Heck Apple even (lamely IMHO) transcribes everything into their own format before they will deign to let the iPhone use YouTube!]]>Aug 3rd 2007 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/Aug 3rd 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/google-doesnt-deny-gphone-rumors-has-prototype-ready/
