So the Open Handset Alliance was announced today dispelling any talk of an actual GPhone – for now. Word has got out of an internal design, code named ‘Dream’ which could be the GPhone.
The Dream looks like the iPhone, and is five inches long, three inches wide, touch-sensitive, swivels, and hides a full-sized QWERTY keyboard below. It also switches to landscape mode when it’s tilted. On the software side, it’s got Google’s own YouTube, plus email, text editing, and a virtual machine for handling the browser. Unlike the iPhone, the screen is also time-sensitive: Hold down your finger longer, and the area you’re controlling expands. The bottom end of the handset, near the navigational controls, is slightly beveled so it nestles in the palm.
Taiwan’s HTC is already considering manufacturing a commercial version of Dream, which Chief Executive Peter Chou says could be available as early as the second half of 2008. “We’ve been working on [Open Handset Alliance] designs for almost two years,” he says. “This is the best one we’ve seen.”
