A friend informed me today that Google has officially announced they will produce a Google phone. I’ve seen the iPhone in action and had thought, “Meh. I just don’t think I need one of those.” Then last week I found myself in a situation where I would have been thrilled to be able to photograph the scene going on around me and blogged it immediately. Hm… I wonder what device could have helped me with that?… Of course, I’m still not sold on the iPhone because I don’t want to learn all new stuff. I live my life online and mostly through Gmail, Gtalk, Google Calendar, Docs and Reader. I know I can download that stuff to my phone, but I’m still a little bit stuck in the mindset that my phone is a phone, not a computer. But by the time the Google phone comes out, I’ll be ready. Ready to have access to all my Google apps on my phone-sized computer. In related news, I discovered recently that I have pretty much completely phased phones out of my personal life. I talk to friends via email and IM. I can use my cell at work to call for doctor’s appointments and the like. So making my phone into just another (tinier) computer that I live my whole life on will make paying phone bills so much easier to stomach!
