Google has just announced Android. There will be no Gphone, Google has rather done something even more ambitious. They released a mobile operating system for mobile phones. It covers all basic phone functions such as calling and phone book, but also locates addresses on a map, and has a graphical capabilty to run applications such as Google Earth and Doom (openGL implementation).
They also announced a prize of 10 million $ for the best applications developed for the platform. Curiously they have said nothing about real advanced features such as GPS integration or payment, maybe they should have a look at what is going on on countries like the Netherlands. People there can pay the parking meter by sending an sms, and use GPS integration to locate the nearest on-duty pharmacy.
