Will there be a GPhone? It's very possible. Google has been working to introduce a mobile phone format they acquired several years ago called Android. It is Linux based and was announced yesterday that it should be operational in the very near future. They have partnered with companies such as Intel, T-Mobile, Sprint-Nextel, Motorola, HTC, etc. This platform looks destined to show up on T-Mobile and Sprint phones first. Gosh, this will be fun to watch! PCWorld has a good FAQ article. Hmmmmm, we may be able to acquire internet services on cellphones at an affordable price.
While on the subject of Google let me mention another great free software download offered by these fine folks. Picasa is must have software, especially if you own a digital camera. Don't pay for photo editing software or use the software suite that accompanies your camera until you try this great application. The ease of use and versatility is great. It's a free download and a breeze to install. The tutorials are great and you can start using Picasa in a matter of minutes. I used this program even before Google acquired it and it has really improved in the past few years. There is even a Linux version available at Google Labs. Please remember you download things at your own risk and the ability to follow installation instructions is important. This said: Try it, you'll like it!
