More about the GPhone

Well, it looks like the plan that Google has for their phone project is more about creating the OS to rival MS or Palm and less about the hardware. The phone is certainly going to make for an interesting environment for Google. Without it’s own network, it’s going to have to get “into bed” with a carrier, who will want something and are infamous for closed systems. Google wants to organize and arguably liberate information, but sell ads as well. Google’s are not divergent goals, but they can certainly conflict at times for some people and places. But throw in the phone company and you might have a situation that will make the Apple/AT&T thing look like a dream.
