Google phone details emerge

Google's smartphone has been a very poorly-kept secret in general, but details have been hard to come by. Slowly, though, bits and pieces of specific information are starting to seep through the wall of non-disclosure agreements. The first tantalizing bit is the name: gPhone seems the leading candidate for the upcoming device. The platform will likely include an operating system, mobile versions of Google software, and built-in developer tools. In total, it looks like a product that will change the ways developers work with Google as much as it changes the communications for customers.
