Preview of Google’s GPhone with the Android Linux OS

Check out a preview of the new GPhone, basically a Samsung phone with Google’s Linux Android operating system.I think it’s got great browser which I dig the most. There’s also street view from GoogleMaps but I guess that can be useful.

Perhaps most impressive is the Street View mode of Google Maps, pulled down to the 3G prototype reference phone running at a relatively mild 300MHz. That reference design, which may or may not reflect hardware that will run Android in the future, had another interesting feature: a trackball, currently seen on Danger Hiptops and Blackberries.

The Google phone

The Google phone or is it gphone is due to hit the streets by June 2008, and it would appear that the phone and everything about it is going to very different to what we would have expected from other phone providers.

For once the software or part of it is going to be open source, this will enable outside developers to work on their solutions for the phone, which is great and will offer more opportunities for users to find different applications for the phone.
