Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone

Hugh Pickens writes "The New York Times has a look at Google's plan to loosen the carriers' control over their mobile phone networks in an effort to bring the dynamics of the PC-oriented Internet to the mobile Internet hoping that it can beat competitors in an open environment. The Google Phone or gPhone which is expected to be unveiled later this year will not compete with the iPhone but will help Google distribute their online services. Google intends to provide software that will be built into phones sold by many manufacturers and, unlike Microsoft's Windows Mobile, Google is not expected to charge phone makers a licensing fee for their software. Google will make its money brokering ads on the mobile phones and even envisions a free phone service one day supported entirely through ad revenue."

  1. Chris Benoit was Framed! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Eddie Guerrero faked his death in 2005 and hid in Guatemala training himself with commandos. Upon crossing the border and hiking to Georgia he discovered his former lover involved in a heterosexual relationship.
    In a fit of rage, Eddie strangled Mrs. Benoit with a phone cord and Chris's son with his bare hands. Upon arriving home Chris found the scene and screamed in horror. Eddie leapt from the shadows, tore off Benoit's tights and shoved his engorged mexipenis into Chris's canadasshole.
    Wanting to experiment with sexual asphyxiation, Benoit rigged up his weight set and said, "You get into one little fight then yo' momma will get scared and she'll say you're movin' in with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air!"
