There have reportedly been rumors of a 'Googlephone' that would respond to Apple's iPhone. And until now, they have been just that....rumors. However, The Inquirer recently found some patents that suggest the contrary. The Inquirer derives, based on the patents, that the phone will be dual-mode (will work with WiFi and Cellular connections). The phone should come in two versions, one that will support cdmaOne, and one that will support GSM. However, the most interesting thing about the 'Googlephone' would be a possible attempt by Google to do something like T9.

;) I was just harassing ya, my post on that thread was about the "google OS" but the link was actually to a thread about the google "phone".

Interesting the design differences it is taking:
