Nearly a year and a half ago I mentioned the Google phone was coming<\/a>, and to everyone’s surprise, it has taken incredibly long.<\/p>\n

There’s been a lot of speculation in the industry over the past few weeks that it’s coming any time now, and it looks like the day is almost here. I’ve been putting off buying a new phone for quite awhile now. I’m relatively happy with my Blackberry, but when the iPhone came out, I was pretty floored by some of the capabilities. Zooming in on Google maps is highly cool, but its lack of a tactile keyboard kept me from taking the plunge.<\/p>\n

About two hours ago Google posted this video online at YouTube, that gives a clearer explanation of what it is, what it’s going to do, what to expect, and how they hope it will change our lives. To be perfectly clear, it’s not a phone, it’s an operating system, that is going to be available for multiple handsets, on multiple carriers, and the open source aspect should be an incredible opportunity – iPhone better watch out.<\/p>\n

As they put it in the video, it’s going to be the “catalyst for innovation…”<\/p>\n

*update 11\/2007 – Google removed the video, so I’ve removed it from here… sorry ;(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
