In two weeks, Google will launch GPhone

The Wall Street Journal on October 30 said that in about two weeks Google will launch its own branded mobile phone. Products that have long been called by the name GPhone.

The current problem is that Google has not yet chosen a mobile network service provider to help it operate and control the device.

Google is also in talks with two of America's leading mobile network service providers, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel, for cooperation. But The Wall Street Journal predicts T-Mobile's ability to become a partner in the supply of GPhone in the US market is huge. Meanwhile, in Europe it is very likely that Orange and 3 Mobile will get GPhone.

So far Google has not disclosed which partner is the GPhone manufacturer. According to the Wall Street Journal, it could be the Taiwanese or LG Korean HTC.

In addition to the announcement of Google's mobile phone product, it is expected to launch the device's software and service platform to allow device manufacturers to develop customized GPhone products according to their own needs.

The technology platform for developing directly integrated application services in Gphone such as Internet search service, online digital maps, YouTube, Gmail . will also be fully open to developers.

Google's strategy to fully open the device is expected to be a big step in the global mobile industry. Most mobile network service providers and device manufacturers are now locked to devices, preventing application developers from adding. If desired, the developer must reach an agreement with the network service provider and equipment manufacturer.

Typical of these is Microsoft. The company's Windows Mobile platform is still completely closed and well protected. At the same time, it took Apple four months to accept the third-party application for running on the iPhone.
