The rumor mill now points to Google
Now it's time for Google to be the focal point for private-branded mobile phone rumors. A lot of guesswork right now though.
Quote: 'We are building a small team of top-notch Logic Designers and Analog Designers aimed at nothing less than making the entire world's information accessible from anywhere for free.'
Why not outsource the phone development instead? Most phone manufacturers already do that.
Quote: 'And like Apple, Google would focus on designing the product and work with a contract manufacturer to produce it.'
There you go.
Quote: 'But for Google to make a splash in the crowded mobile phone market, the company would need to design a product that sticks out among the rest'
Seamless support for Google's own services is an obvious differentiator. Of course not just via a web browser but truly integrated in the phone, like "one-click" photo/video-blogging, spoken news feeds and alerts etc. I don't think iPhone has that. Another differentiator would be to have broad support for downloaded applications and content, so that Google can start selling mobile content as well.
