Whether you consider them a status symbol or a fundamental part of staying connected with the world, cell phones have not only become popular, they’ve become nearly necessary in our increasingly technological society. People love getting their hands on the latest gadgets and we most recently experienced this craze with the Apple iPhone.
Granted, the iPhone may not be the best business tool for a number of reasons — lack of third-party application support, no physical QWERTY keyboard, no 3G connectivity, etc. — but it has been a huge hit in the marketplace because it’s pretty to look at and a lot of folks love everything that Apple produces. The slick interface makes for some great eye candy.
Which leads us to wonder, how excited would people be about getting a Google Phone? There have been rumors floating around for several months now stating that the search engine giant is indeed working on a piece of hardware — there are already some cell phones out there that have been designed to run mobile Google apps — but Google has neither confirmed nor denied these reports. Now we’re hearing that Google may reveal their freshman foray into the cell phone market in as little as two weeks.
What you see above is a concept picture based on e-ink technology, but at this point, that design is probably a pipe dream. Just hop onto Google (ironically enough), search for Google Phone concept pictures and you’ll get an idea of what people are thinking, but until the big G has an official unveiling, it’s all conjecture.
It was also the first mobile phone in the UK to feature a 5 megapixel camera, a fact that undoubtedly helped Nokia sell thousands of units. But it wasn’t just the camera. If anything, that camera was the just the starting point, and they built the N95 up from there!
Sony Ericsson P1 has a 3.2 Megapixel camera with 3x zoom and auto focus, a 2.6-inch LCD touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and support for H.264 video playback.
