Googles [alledged] "Switch" Mobile Phone

[TheZodiac]

Hey, I am ALL for a gPhone. THis thing looks photoshopped, but the idea of a googlephone DOES support rumors of a google mobile OS and a phone with all the essense of google and its applications all in one place sounds good for me - might even make me slp out of the iPhone camp

Check out the BS* specs:

Color us skeptics on this one, but we've got a tipster claiming to have the scoop on Google Switch. This version of the mythical Googlephone is said to be the result of a collaboration with Samsung -- not Alpha Networks or HTC. Of course, it's a button-less touchscreen device as is the rage these days only this time with GPS built-in for pinpoint navigation around Google Maps. What's pictured in that all too familiar blur (Photoshopped?) is the phone's contact program said to be an extended version of Gtalk combining Gmail, text and instant messaging. According to our tipster, the device doesn't have any on-board storage. That's right, all your applications are served up over the network with new apps "attached" to your account via a web interface. So what is it... the real deal or engorged fanboy fantasy? Check the gallery below for biggie pics suitable for dissection.

I DEFINITELY do not like the idea having everything saved on a remote server. How does that make sense when you're roaming or not in service??
