gPhone - Is it a phone or an operating system?
October 12th, 2007
Speculation regarding a possible mobile device, the gPhone, to be released by Google first surfaced late in 2006. The rumours originated from Google’s very quiet acquisition of Android in 2005, a mobile software company started by Andy Rubin. Andy’s team is now working hard at Google on a new Linux-based mobile device operating system which they are currently demonstrating to handset manufacturers. So the latest information seems to indicate that the gPhone is not hardware but rather software, no doubt with excellent integration with Google’s services!
