More on the Google Phone Rumors
We first heard the rumors from TechCrunch about a possible mobile phone that Google is working on. Subsequently, rumors also stated that it might just be a data only phone.
Today, TimesOnline from UK reports Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Northeast Securities, a financial services firm unveiled few more details.
According to Kumar, the G-Phone actually will be an unlocked voice + data capable, the Google-branded phone will be built by a third-party supplier, possibly the Taiwanese phone maker HTC, and will incorporate a processor from Qualcomm and Google promises to be one of the most advanced smartphones, with a large touch-screen display and a processor almost twice as fast as the one powering Apple’s iPhone 3GS. It will probably be the first phone to run a new version of Google’s Android software, codenamed Flan, offering high-speed 3-D gaming said to be as good as that of many handheld consoles.
The heart of this phone will be Google Voice App coupled with Gizmo 5 Project, that could be a stand alone phone that could use just data plan to deliver voice call over VoIP. However a SIM slot will be available for user to pop in their own SIM card.
“We’ve never had this situation, where a single vendor controls the entire stack, from the operating system right up to Google’s cloud services,” says Kumar. “It changes the competitive and bargaining dynamics like never before.”
