10 Questions and Answers About Google Phone
Ionut Alex Chitu over at Google Operating System has compiled a nice batch of rumors from various sources and titled it, 10 Questions and Answers About Google Phone
I agree with every point but the last one:
How much will it cost? Many sources indicate it won't be too expensive and it may be subsidized by advertising. It's unlikely it will be free, at least for now:
"Schmidt said Saturday that as mobile phones become more like handheld computers and consumers spend as much as eight to 10 hours a day talking, texting and using the Web on these devices, advertising becomes a viable form of subsidy. "Your mobile phone should be free," Schmidt told Reuters. "It just makes sense that subsidies should increase" as advertising rises on mobile phones."
Hey! It's got to be free (except for a small monthly fee) or it ain't Google!
Now, let's get that Zune Phone out there so we can start comparing iPhones to gPhones to zPhones!
