Rumor: Google Cell Phone will have Linux, GPS, and Cheap

iPhone watch out. GPhone might be ringing in September.

Rumors are circulating on the new Google Phone thanks to Mark Hopkins, who claims to know the inside scroop from sources at Google.

According to his sources, the Google phone will be powered by a modified version of Linux kernal and will have GPS functionality built-in. The navigation will be used with Google Maps application.

Of course, the phone will work seamlessly with GMAIL, Calender and Google Documents. Hopkins mentions that the Google mobile phone is less about beating out Apple's iPhone but more about making a stamp to the $100 Laptop. He also believes Google will sell it for way cheap to push more on targeted text ads served on the phone.

So when is this supposed to be available again? Hopkins claims Google will announce the device very soon and that a North American version will be available by end of the year.

Tech words explained

"Ultraportable"
This is the smallest and lightest version of the laptop. The overall focus of this laptop is having a light weight (less than 5lb), around 1" thick or less, with 9" to 12" displays. Due to the cost of making components smaller and fitting them into tighter spaces, the price is usually more expensive, ranging from $1000 for a very basic machine to $2000+ for mid-range features. Although the Ultraportable has respectable standard performance, it is usually inadequate for any graphics-intensive programs, due to the common use of Integrated Graphics. Ultraportables usually have longer battery life (~5+ hours) due to the common usage of lower voltage processors. Other than the smaller screen and integrated graphics, the other major tradeoff usually found with Ultraportables is a lack of an optical drive. These are usually not built into the laptop to save space and weight, but instead are often provided as an external option. Ultraportables are intended for highly mobile users who need basic computing power with ultimate portability.
