Google’s Gphone Launch Delayed Until End of 2008
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
Google have delayed he launch of the much hyped Gphone because of handset issues. The so-called ‘Gphone’ – a handset powered by an operating system Google has helped design - had been slated for release in the second half of the year, but Google now says it will more likely appear in the fourth quarter. Since Google has contributed to the operating system of the phone called Android, around 30 different partners had decided to help them in the preparation of the phone. Meanwhile Google is continuing to woo software developers who, it hopes, will make applications that owners of Android handsets can download from the internet. Android is what is known as an open source operating system, which means that any developer who wants to make a programme that runs on it can access the system’s code.
