Android Google Phone
Posted on 17. Jun, 2009 by Jake in Gadgets
I can’t wait to get my hands on the Android Google phone. It’s sleek, but still has a decent sized qwerty keyboard, and I like the glossy finish.
But coolest feature is the motion sensor, which allows you to navigate Google Maps just by moving the phone.
It’s not hard to foresee the day that our phone tracks our path as we negotiate the city, highlighting points of interest (and places to buy more airtime along the way). Already, Google Street View is opening the way for nifty apps that change the way we see our environment.
Technology is also changing the way we communicate with each other. The INQ Twitter Phone, for optimized real-time social networking.
(Not recommended for readers in China.)
If you’re old fashioned and want to use your phone to talk and stuff, here’s a way to be high-tech and high fashion: the YUBZ Skype phone is for you.
Insufficiently bling for you? Luxury mobile maker Vertu brings you the Signature Cobra, an affront so vulgar only eight could be made.
I would (and maybe one day might) put my own cash on the Bang & Olufsen Serene Mobile. Like all the B&O products, it’s a combination of understated cutting-edge design and extremely high-end components, cleverly integrated – and not a Swarovski crystal in sight.

Not yet. Everyone is still unsure when it will actually be released in SA- if ever.
However I have heard rumours from the geek world that apparently the G1 wasn’t a huge success, so Google has sold the Android software to the Cell manufacturers and they will all now be bringing out a Google Android phone, under their name. HTC Dream?
