Sep 5, 2007 gps navigation, phones

We continue to collect information (aka “rumors”) on the GPS capabilities of the GPhone which we already assume is a reality. According to WSJ Google has been in touch with phone manufacturers about the technical specifications of the GPhone. Google wants to give consumers more options and they hope multiple manufacturers will take on the job and the phones will be offered through multiple carriers.

A Google spokesman yesterday declined to comment on a Google phone project, but noted: “We are partnering with almost all of the carriers and manufacturers to get Google search and other Google applications onto their devices and networks.”

The specs Google has come up with suggests that manufacturers include digital camera, built-in Wi-Fi, support 3G, and include GPS .
