Google Phone - a mobile phone by Google Inc
Are these pictures real? Is this Google’s answer to the Apple iPhone? If it is, then these are the first pictures available to the public.

The pictures appear to display a layout draft, not a photograph of the actual mobile phone.

Popular sources say that this mobile phone by Google was shown to participants of a market survey who then leaked information about it, though it is yet unsure if it’s just a prototype or already the final market version.

Manufacturer of the Google Phone

In January 2007, Google Inc. had already announced that Samsung Electronics will be manufacturing the Google Phone.

Features of the Google Phone

As expected, Google Phone will include pre-installed Google Service functionality, services such as Blogger, Google Maps, Google Search and Gmail will probably be linked to hardware buttons on the phone.

Wi-Fi support and a 2 Megapixel digital camera are said to be built in as well as a keyboard which is hidden under the slidable screen. Additionally, Google is said to offer a monthly based internet flatrate for the Google Phone with a discount for the first three months. (dpa)

    About the Google Phone.

    Currently there are new rumors saying that the Google Phone will be manufactured by LG Electronics, and not by Samsung as expected first. However, I am still unsure wether the Google Phone will actually hit the market or not……

    I don’t believe the latest Google Phone rumors… Google will have to set up something more special to stand a chance against Apple’s iPhone.
