Is the Google Phone Next <> The Google Phone is Next

Now that the iPhone Hubub as finally reduced from a deafening roar to a loud murmur… heres some more tech fodder for you … The Google Switch !

Googles Mobile Ambitions are pretty obvious now…

• The Bid to Wi-Fi San Francisco
• The Leaked Picture of the Google Switch
• The glut of Open Recs for Mobile Skilled Workers and finally…
• The Millions they are spending on prototype design

In Additon: 

The Observer of London is reporting that Google might be working with HTC and mobile/telecom giant Orange to build the Mobile Phone, which could possibly have Google software inside the device, and would be able to do many of the web tasks smartly. The device, article speculates, could go on sale in 2008. (Of course, we would all have forgotten by then… if it doesn’t happen.) Orange and Google, both declined to comment.

Their plans centre on a branded Google phone, which would probably also carry Orange’s logo. The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specialising in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod. But it would have built-in Google software which would dramatically improve on the slow and cumbersome experience of surfing the web from a mobile handset.

Im excited …we will wait and watch
