Speculation builds about the Gphone
A new report surfaced Tuesday that Google's hell-bent on making its own mobile phone operating system, adding to the rumors that a prototype could be released soon.
Engadget is reporting that we could hear official news from Google about its plans for a handset-optimized operating system in September. The newest report falls into the more likely category--at least in my opinion--that Google would be working with existing phone companies on a device that uses a Google-developed operating system and suite of mobile applications, not building its own hardware.
The appeal for Google is simple: mobile phone growth is exploding, and it's the future of computing. It's not a perfect analogy, but it's almost like the early days of the PC industry when Microsoft hadn't yet come to dominate the industry and there were several different ideas for software to run those new-fangled PCs.
Google's OS is supposedly based on Linux, and designed to work well with its existing applications. If the rumors are true, Google will find itself in new ground competing against Microsoft, Palm, Symbian and its good buddy Apple.

Now for the readers, this is obviously the smartest, most efficient phone yet to come. What does it have as featues? All the normal stuff, call this, call that, music, video, blah blah blah - a variety of colors, skins, blah blah blah, but SALLY is sexy whether programmed for a particular genre, voice, sex, whatever. SALLY blinks with a heart throbbing pulsating LED light that tells you SHE'S ALIVE and waiting for YOUR INSTUCTIONS. Sally can sleep...and be programmed to WAKE UP and launch a call.
HOW CAN YOU NOT - HOW CAN YOU NOT - FALL IN LOVE WITH SALLY? She's battery powered, of course, she never loses her memory, and she will tell YOU which telephone provider is best suited for YOUR NEEDS.
SALLY is on the horizon and then when every wireless device company on this planet adopts SALLY and her concept, the ONLY THING LEFT FOR THEM TO DO IS TO FIGHT IT OUT WITH PRICING. SALLY IS THE UNIVERSAL LOVING RESPONSIVE VOICE RECOGNITION WIRELESS DEVICE OF THE FUTURE - COMING SOON TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.....CHECK BACK...OR SEARCH "GOOGLE.com."
Have a lovely and beautiful day....your lucky number is "FO-FI-FO-454."
