Making its way around the web today is an image of what is claimed to be the product of a collaboration between Google and Samsung - the Google Switch mobile phone. The authenticity of the photo and rumors have not yet been verified. If this does in fact turn out to be a Google mobile phone and not a Photoshop hoax, it could put a serious damper on the impending Apple iPhone launch in June.
Google and Samsung have teamed up in the past. Most recently, Samsung agreed to let Google install its software on their Ultra Edition 13.8 slider phone last month. That phone is super-slim, but nowhere near as thin as the one pictured in this photo. According to tipsters, the ''Google Switch'' has no on-board storage. That means all your applications are served up over the network, with new apps ''attached'' to your account via a web interface. 1/19/2007 4:03:28 PM ---
