The Google Phone

March 18, 2007

Advertising, Mobile, Technology

I love rumors about the latest tech gadgets as much as the next guy so I figured I would weigh in on the whole Google Phone idea.

Here is the latest speculated photo\prototype: (I cant wait to see how right\wrong this really is)


Google Phone

I have heard about it a lot lately and if you have not here are some links to catch you up:

The real google phone
Googling Google: Google Phone

And now there may be some actual confirmation…
English Translation of the Google Phone Announcement

This could all be some sort of R&D experiment that got rumor legs and leaked to the blogosphere or it could actually be real.

The real impact of such a device does have far reaching marketing ramifications though. The option exists for the following:

1. An advertising supported device (100%)
2. A subsidized service plan paid for by advertising (think 50\50)
3. True carrier independence
4. The option for a foreign carrier to make a move into the US market (think Orange)

I am sure there are quite a few models being discussed now but in the end the consumer benefits. As more features are packed into smaller devices and we are able to synchronize across all mediums the benefits of such smart phone devices will be seen. Google has moved into the email and document space on the net – now lets hope they find a way to put it in your pocket.

    Well I believe Google is actually working on this. I posted about Google hiring a wireless developer the other day, so why would they want to hire someone who can do this sort of thing if they don’t plan on making a “Google” phone?

    I hope they do. It would be geektastic for sure!

    Hi Sean,

    I agree that they would not be hiring people unless they had some kind of strategy for this area. I have also speculated that as Eric Schmidt sits on the Apple board that they would actually come out with an Google iPhone collaboration that would obviously have mass appeal.

    I think people want to see this device come to fruition and these types of things only help test market demand.
