**Update**

In a somewhat disappointing announcement Google has announced Android, which is basically a mobile phone operating system. While this still holds all of the promised features I know myself and probably most of you were looking forward to a new piece of hardware from Google. Regardless Android is an open source operating system. Now whether this excites you or not, is another questions. It should be interesting to see where this takes handsets, perhaps down the road that facebook is currently going? It is definitely going to be a more social phone.

Morning Folks.

Rumor has it that Google is supposed to announce their plans for the Google Phone Today. I will keep this post updated throughout the day as the news happens but here is what we know so far.

Google is planning on giving away its software to handset makers and then letting them promote the openness of it to software developers to create new applicataions.

Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless are said to already be working with Google.

The GPhone is said to be free, the service will be paid for by users watching advertisements each time they want to make a call or do a Google search

Is This The Future?
