GPhone Could End Up iPhone’s Competition

Last year there was an estimated 1.5 billion in adverts spent in the mobile phone industry. That number is expected to grow to 14 billion by 2011 and Google, master at making money of adverts, wants a huge piece of that action.
Rumors of a “GPhone” made by Google have been circling for some time now and according to a Wall Street Journal Report, there may be one coming out by the end of 2008.
The “GPhone”, as it is being dubbed, would be a very different deal than the iPhone. Google, it would appear, is not interested in making the coolest device on the market but rather getting their software and access to their search engines and thus to their adverts into as many cell phone devices as they can - this is where Google can make the most money.
