The Google Phone: This changes everything (mostly)

This article is really devoid of content.

"This means Google is making hardware"

As if this is something new? We've known Google has been designing and building their own servers for years. They just haven't sold any of their hardware to the general public. In this case the author is saying that because a bunch of Google employees are running around with the same phone that Google is planing to sell that phone. Seems like a leap to me.

Just make sure that you don't make any phone calls you should not make in the first place.

If the rumors of this being a VoIP only phone, with a data access only plan are true, this is a "big deal".

This could be the beginning of the end for consumer telephony.

One thing it will definitely change is the attitude to Google from all the device manufacturers now making Android phones. This is a stab in the back, nothing else. Everyone who fears Android will be fragmented should be concerned.

If that is actually a photo....

it looks horrid to me :( matte black plastic??

Didn't know hacker news was into speculation.

ARM based SoC created by Qualcomm, in phone assembled by HTC, which is running Android and marketed by Google itself. Where is the miracle?
