As for touch screen, that is pretty cool. I used to have Palm until that one died, and this present Cingular phone has both a qwerty keyboard and a touch screen with several options (keyboard, a "graffiti" type deal similar to Palm, etc.) for converting your touch/scribble/writing into text. So if this googlephone does that even with big fingertips (no nails), I can see how that would be attractive even to men.]]>Jan 18th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 18th 2007 11:55AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 19th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Visual Mail is NOT AN APPLE INVENTION. Get your head out of the reality distortion field. And Apple *applied* for those patents - it doesn't mean they'll get them. They tried to patent the magsafe power adapter - too bad for them the food industry's had that patented since 2001. Just because somebody has more patents doesn't make their product cooler and better... Best case scenario, they utilized maybe 40-50 of them, and they're all first gen implementations with issues of their own.]]>Jan 18th 2007 12:11PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
A small victory of value for money in an otherwise expensive country. ]]>Jan 18th 2007 1:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 18th 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 18th 2007 1:35PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
I find this annoying with the iPhone too. I would buy it as a (not quite) widescreen video iPod, but the forced cell contract is really unappealing.]]>Jan 18th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/It's fake. An interesting idea, but fake.]]>Jan 18th 2007 2:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
Or maybe not. Google has been buying up unused fiber-optic lines for years now, the so-called dark fiber that was installed in the 90s in excess of demand. All they would need to do is tack on some WiMax transmitters or the like and turn the thing into a country-wide hotspot. If the phone was voip, they could completely cut out the telcos. Nifty idea.]]>Jan 18th 2007 2:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.freewebs.com/wm5toiphoneskin/

iphone skin enjoy guys]]>Jan 18th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 18th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
the evolution of computers is def headed towards a more online standpoint...think about it almost everything you do on a computer is somwhat related to the internet

might i also add that if we can remember the sidekick is based over the network through danger's servers, sure it does store stuff on the phone itself but everything is on the servers]]>Jan 18th 2007 7:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/Jan 20th 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
Also, these two images are named differently and have no discernable EXIF data to say if its pshopped or not.

The original photos would be nice.]]>Jan 21st 2007 10:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
The first one has an impossible angle for the device! it almost seems like it's on a stand... well where is the stand's shadow? or at least the stand's base should be visible! It definitely doesn't look like it's on the table to me! ]]>Mar 15th 2007 4:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/18/the-google-switch-an-iphone-killer/
