They missed many issues and the story is actually wrong (and thus my point of posting it). It is not about the USA and the gPhone is not really about a phone. The Google perspective I think is about developers, and development. It makes too much sense. They invited all the hardware manufacturers, and if you then step back and look at all the API stuff going on, for iGoogle, myspace, facebook, etc, combine that with the news story that in Japan and elsewhere the next generation of folks are not buying PCs for their Internet and in the case of other countries the 1st time they see Google won't be on a PC but on a mobile phone, then an open-source OS is MUCH bigger then the phone itself. - BrandNewJesus, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1Actually this is dvorak's article http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2212850,00.as ...
The article you linked (and the better article)

"No, there's no gPhone. There will never be a gPhone."
Honestly, I dont think this is the end of the GPhone. With Google participating in the spectrum auction and all, I still believe there may one day be a Real Gphone.
