I think it's fake, fake, and fake. There's no way Google is going to make hardware.

From what the stories say, wouldn't Samsung be making the hardware though? Either way, I agree with you – it's gotta be fake. Who would have that gadget lying around and not have a better camera to take better shots of it than these:

It's got to be fake... surely. As Tony says, it will be branded by Samsung, which is a very good move (as long as it comes out before iPhone in the UK).

The hype of the iPhone doesn't mean that a Google-integrated Samsung phone wouldn't be successful. I'm sure that surfing the Web using Google, on your phone, is a very new concept to some people.

Also, the iPhone will do wonders for Google with its Maps widget anyway, even if Yahoo does dominate the Web Search functions.

didnt get it..
it suppose to be " gooPod " or " Goophone "? :/

would it have a link to this.. http://mobile.google.com/mmconsole ?

Your phone data auto-sync to MMConsole? That would be sweet... (In Google We Trust)

It would be amazing. Shame that wouldn't work on any phone. Couldn't google create a mobile OS that would work on any phone. And erase you're old phone's OS? I'd use it

Hé hé, I know where you saw that recently ;)

BTW, I think it's a fake too. And the partnership with Samsung is too recent to create a product at this time.

the iphone was years in development

mobile console is related to google base
