From BusinessWeek: Google is primed to release details in the next two weeks and is seeking partnerships with carriers such as Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile USA, and France Telecom’s (FTE ) Orange. The idea would be to make the phone’s software, including its operating system, open to developers, allowing them access to the tools needed to build features. Such an opening would be a breakthrough in a system long closed to anyone but the big carriers.
I’ve been thinking of getting a new cell phone. I have a two year upgrade credit from my provider so it probably wouldn’t cost anything. Now it’s seems it’s worth waiting to see what effect the gPhone may have on the market. If Google’s phone is successful and it’s truly open to developers I would imagine other phones would become less expensive and start including more features in order to keep up with Google.
Imagine a phone that you can add features to like you can with FireFox? I get chills thinking of one day having my Gmail, Google Reader, Google Notebook, and my blog all on one device that’s not too expensive. We’ll see.
