it's about time

samsung makes money on the hardware
google makes money on the OS and apps
cell service providers make money on plans

and consumers FINALLY get phones that
can do whatever the heck they want, and
American's can go back to innovating
the hell out of the rest of the World!

iPhones are nice, but a gPhone is what
would make me break a contract to get.
- when version 1.1 hits, of course

Re: it's about time

But will it run windows? All we need now is the M-Phone, ATTaPhone, and the V-Phone to make the circle complete.

We'll see how open this thing really stays once money becomes involved. Additionally isn't Google going to be putting advertisements on these things? According to the article at CNN they were.

The New G-Phone? We can only hope.

Just think what this would mean for Google. They can mostly by pass the major ISP's and their threats of charging Google for access. A place for them to place ad's, music services, etc, etc. If this comes about this is going to rock the wireless digital world.

Re: it's about time

That is one slick looking phone. Hey Steve.. hows your blood pressure?
Next question, will be be priced lower (199.99?) after rebates, blah blah blah.. Maybe it's just me but I seem to recall all the media blitz months before iPhone came out. Guess google doesn't have as much money allicated to buying air time to "push" their product down everyones throat like Apple did. But, gotta wonder what the deciding factor was for Google? VZW=Control freaks. ATT=Not only no but hell no, keep your iPhone. Sprint=Wimax, nice backbone that can handle the bandwidth needs.. oh yea. T-Moble=Spread the wealth (hey, the guys at google always did like the underdog)

Re: it's about time

The built in computing power of the Meiz phone is impressive. The Blog gives the target price range and it's straight price is cheaper, plug in discounts and you will really have a iPhone killer.
