3 separate entries
about the upcoming gPhone in my NetVibes this morning…

Mashable
reports talks between Google and e28 as a hardware provider and Verizon as a
carrier:
gPhone: e28 Rumored to Provide Google Phone Hardware
gPhone: Verizon Fuels the Rumormill

Last FM
reports that the gPhone might be coming to the market next summer and that
Google should be putting out more official information in 2 weeks:
It’s time we hear from Google about its mobile phone plans

All the entries
are accompanied by pictures and descriptions that help us technophiles imagine what
this gPhone might be. I’m keeping my
figures crossed for the Verizon match up. I will gladly toss my Motorola Q out the window in a heartbeat for a
YouTube-friendly phone that supports Google Maps to its fullest (including
ratings, descriptions, pictures, and most importantly My Maps).
