Google phone news

Because Google has conquered the web with internet search, Youtube, Blogger and apps like Gmail, GoogleMaps and Gcal it’s only natural that Google has to build a device that could let anyone from anywhere access these great services. This device it’s likely to be the Gphone and if done right this is what it could have:

Communications: it will support CDMA and GSM standards and have Wi-Fi and 3G for wireless data transfers. It could also support internet telephony through Gtalk and even Skype.

Display: Because iPhone brought the 3/2 inch bright crips display it would be stupid if the Gphone will have something smaller than the iPhone’s given the amount of info that the Gphone will have to display.

Input: Here Gmail has 3 options. It could go for a touchscreen like the iPhone’s, a QWERTY keyboard much like a Blackbery has, or a small slide-out keyboard like many new modern phones have.

Camera: These days the built in digital camera is a must for every phone, so surely the Gphone will have something like a 2MP camera or more.

Because of the GoogleMaps another must for the Gphone to be really wonderful is a GPS that would work hand in hand withe GoogleMaps.

Applications: Be sure that Google will give it’s phone all the applications Google has on the web or desktop like: Search, Gmail, Gcal, Gtalk, Gchat, Documents and Spreadsheets , Google Groups, Google Notebook, Google Maps , YouTube, Blogger, Picasa, and so on.

Now the only thing left to do is wait and see if Google will deliver the Gphone and in case it does (i don’t doubt it) if it will rise to expectations.
