We promised you updates on the Google Phone rumors and here it is. There is more concrete proof of the Google phone. Nothing direct or too specific, but a writer journalist at Boston Globe has interviewed a few insiders and put together several vague pieces of the Google Phone puzzle and came up with a pretty unique phone: hardware made by HTC but OS is not Windows Mobile but Linux, multimedia functions, QWERTY keyboard and the applications will all be handled by Java. Even the browser, which resembles the iPhone Safari browser, is written in Java. As for the device itself, it has been described as “simple and not as flashy as the iPhone” and…
Another entrepreneur, who saw a prototype earlier this year, described three-dimensional, animated buttons on the screen. That prototype had a small QWERTY keyboard, like a Treo or a BlackBerry, rather than relying on a touch-screen, as the iPhone does.
