HTC May Develop Google Phone

12 Sep, 2007, 6:30 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Smartphones

The Google Phone has been in the works for a long time. Concepts for this phone have been floating around for ages. Of course nothing is conclusive as to whether or not Google is actually going to be coming out with a mobile of their own.

However, some of the designs are way out there and look astounding. What specs these mobiles will have are also a little vague. But there’s no harm in dreaming, is there?

Naturally, we expect it to have G-Talk, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Search as standard applications. Let's not forget YouTube as another feature that's likely to be included by default. Apparently, all of this could be going down in Google’s office in Cambridge, UK, but it’s all very hush-hush.

It also looks likely that HTC just might be the guys hired to get the phone off the drawing board. According to Om Malik down at gigaom , he has a bit of a scoop on a few facts that Google is incorporating into their phone. For instance, he says it should run on a Mobile Linux platform and have Java capability.


The biggest question on everybody’s mind is – will it be here before the next-gen iPhone and how will it compare? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what Google comes up with. When we get the dope you can bet you’ll know as well!
