Google Announces Open Handset Alliance.

[Peter]

Google today released a press release announcing that they are working with partners such as t-Mobile and Motorola (as well as many others) as part of a Open Handset Alliance.

they claim that the alliance should result in faster roll outs (as well as cheaper) mobile phones. The 1st phones that use the technology that these companies have cooperatively developed should be made available by mid 2008.

P.S. On a side not 4 days shy of my 4th anniversary on Namepros this is my 3,000th post.

Congratulations Peter, this is a milestone in so many ways!

We've been talking about it (the announcement) today in a certain sub-forum, but it's probably wise for that discussion to remain separate.

3,000!
:great:

Here's the Yahoo News article:

Interestingly enough, Google has not announced any plans of releasing a phone themselves. This should put all GPhone speculations to a rest...for the time being...
