Gphone?
The latest rumor is that Google will be releasing the Google cell phone in the next couple of weeks. I think Google may be venturing a bit too far from what they know. They do not have experience making hardware products. And really so far there only big success has been the Google search engine. The other products don't really seem to make them any money. Google Earth is cool, but how does that make them money? And there online office suite is basically second rate at best. Gmail is good but still, is it a money maker. There desktop assistant really seems unfinished and hodgepodged together. It will be interesting to see if they can make a good cell phone. My guess is that it will have loads of features but only some of them useful, and yet unpolished compared to the iPhone. What is your take?

I feel totally this same way, Stitch. The main moneymaker for Google has always been advertising dollars. I don't remember any hardware product Google has very manufactured or designed - it has always been software. Are you aware if they outsourced the phone, and they are going to provide the software?
I'm a little skeptical because Google is actively working with Apple on Apps for the iPhone. Are you sure this information is from reputable sources?
