Our information center have some news about Gphone from sources close to the Google’s development and they said a simultaneous launch across the US and Europe is expected, and announcements would be sent to media firms in India, Great Britain, US and other parts of the world.

TechCrunch announce that Google will show “something” on “TechCrunch40″ (maybe Gphone?)

“We just got permission to post this - On top of everything else weā€™ve got planned, Google will present something at TechCrunch40 next week. Like the AOL and Yahoo product launches, it will not be eligible for the $50,000 top prize awarded to the best new startup product. But they will present it in front of the main crowd, and audience comments and questions will be part of the show”

Someone saw the new Gphone?

One entrepreneur who has seen the Google phone prototype (Gphone), but asked not to be named, described it as ā€œsimplerā€¯ and not as flashy as Appleā€™s iPhone. Another entrepreneur, who saw a prototype earlier this year, described three-dimensional, animated buttons on the screen. That prototype had a small QWERTY keyboard, like a Treo or a BlackBerry, rather than relying on a touch-screen, as the iPhone does.
In August, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in its cellphone project, with the hope that several different manufacturers will build the phones and multiple carriers will help distribute them, with Google supplying the software and perhaps delivering ads to the devices.
