The nefarious furry toothed hacker set loves to go after the 800 lb gorilla in the room. In this case the silverback in question is none other than Google. There is an ever growing cloud of smoke building around the repeatedly denied Google Phone (gphone?) which we first talked about last March.
More smoke:
- Google expected to disclose cellphone initiative
- Google in talks with Verizon Wireless: sources
- France Telecom denies Google talks about handset
- Report: Google phone platform due out in mid 2008
Now, the race to break a Google phone would be as feverish as the race to break the iPhone. But, will it be a similar situation?

Rumors have been circulating all year about the 2008 debut of “The Google Phone†but Google has been calculated in sharing only bits of insight with every developing story. In a recent Cnet.com posting by Elinor Mills we learned “In addition to the ad-supported phone services bundling Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail, the operating system would be open to developers to build additional features.†The catch phrase in this news as a mobile security expert is “open to developers†which should strike up some level of anxiety.
Interesting. Do I smell BBQ?
