Anything that Google does or doesn’t do become news in the tech world. And why not? After all Google has become an inseparable part of all techie’s lives. Sometimes it seems with Google applications not around all our work will come to a stagnation. It sure will. Think of Google mail undergoing a crash. Or Google chat not working…or google docs getting stuck…I don’t know about yours, but my work surely will suffer a good amount of loss.
There has been a lot of speculation about what the Google cell phone is going to be like or will Google actually come out a cell phone of its own? Recent reports say Google, if at all ever launches a cell phone, will not come out with a regular cell phone. It may be a VOIP device with unlimited calling powered by Google Voice or some similar application.
Although Google has been denying any such news, rumors still keep surfacing up every now and then (may be because of the keen interest Google has been showing in the cell phone industry) . Also, a lot of people in the past have dismissed such talks saying Google, being a brand of software applications, it is highly doubtful that it may get into the hardware area. Rather it will try to strengthen its position in software section itself. Even if something like that happens, it will not be a thorough move into Hardware, instead it will collaborate with cell phone manufacturing networks.
I may be too naïve to comment on this subject. You would perhaps listen from the experts who will give you a better insight into the Google cell phone news. You may have a look at this post More Rumors On The Google Phone, Data Only.
But until the so called Google cell phoneis actually launched in the market nothing can be said with surety.
