Well i’m still in the Girl Geek category of ‘envy’ as other Geek friends have both the iPhone mark one, and as soon as it was available the iPhone mark two. BUT perhaps such geeks were too hasty? Google may have come to our rescue at it prepares to unveil its first mobile phone.
Here’s hoping Google’s Dream-set will be in stores as early as November. Just in time to say ‘Hello, Father Christmas is that you calling?’
As expected, the handset will run Google’s new phone O/S, Android, and have a slide-out Qwerty keyboard gps etc. Also it will run Google’s range of web applications including, Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps.
It is likely that Google’s new web browser, Chrome will also be on board for seamless Web searching and updating.
So will Google take over iPhone as the Geek’s handset of choice? There’s certainly potential where applications and features are targeted to such audience. Will Dream be able to point, click and send a photo. Something that seems lost to the iPhone. More to the point what will it look and feel like? And will we all have to walk round talking with Google branded to our ear?
Watch this blog…
And apologies for referring to Christmas twice, in September.
