Google’s main differentiator will be on price – its phone is expected to sell at a fraction of the $400 iPhone.
According to Mr Anmuth, the device will be a simple “plain vanilla” smartphone that can be manufactured for $120-$160. But he adds: “We believe a Google phone could be marketed at a price point below $100, and potentially even be free.”

Here are five facts about Google phone published by Om Malik from GigaOM to illustrate that gPhone is not a mere rumor: Continue Reading “Google gPhone”
