Google Phone?
Looking at John Battelle's Searchblog, one of the required class blogs, I discovered an article speaking of a GOOGLE PHONE? Google and Samsung have been rumored to team up together to create a phone with the nickname "Switch" that will create mobile versions of Goggle search, Google map, and GMail. This seems a little crazy to be honest though. With the constant hype about the new phone to be introduced by Apple, the iTalk, in late June 2008, it seems that the Google Phone may be looking at a early flop. With everyone so excited about the Apple Phone before it is even released, due to the fact that Apple has produced so many reliable products before, it seems to be a project with Google that may be an immediate failure.

Steve made a great point here about the introduction of a Google Phone: it is not going to match the hype of the iPhone by Apple. Apple has a strong consumer brand loyalty and has proven its product durability with the iPod series of MP3 players. Although Google is a great research tool, it cannot compete with a product made by a company who has dominated the electronic market in the last few years. My advise to Google: Stick with the search engine and leave the cool gadgets to Apple.
