Google Phone (GPhone) - Q1 2008

Has everyone heard about the new GPhone that is planned to be released in the Spring of 2008? It is rumored to run Linux on a Texas Instruments "Edge" Chipset. The initial carrier is rumored to be T-Mobile in the US and Orange in France and other countries. You can just image what type of software or AJAX apps it is going to run. Hopefully it will include a GPS. If not, their loss. All phones by next year should have a GPS. Who likes carrying a bulging BT GPS module in their pocket?

I'd guess it will have GPS. Google Maps will be the driving force bringing the gPhone to the masses. As Google Maps Mobile already supports GPS, they would be wasting a ton of work by not including a little peice of hardware that they've already written software for.

You can say that again. They will make a lot of money through their advertisements if it has a GPS. One of the best marketing ideas that will come to life.
