The above is just one of many Google Phone tweets that made the rounds yesterday. Unless this is some giant Twitter prank, looks like Google is handing these things out to employees. And they're talking.
Assuming this isn't some sort of coordinated Twitter joke (trust me, it happens), here are the details we can extract:
• It's running Android 2.1 on HTC hardware
• It should be coming out in January
• Employees were given unlocked versions
• "It's beautiful," "a sexy beast."
No one grabbed any concrete hardware details, but hopefully those are the next to come around. Great White Snark elaborated on his original tweet in the comments over at TechCrunch:
Yeah, it's a hot, sexy mess. And I mean that in a good way. Similar form-factor to the iPhone, but with a smooth-brushed-metal-looking shell instead of a glossy one. And perhaps a smidgen lighter.
Super fast, speech-to-text in EVERY app, awesome "live wallpapers" in the background that respond to touch in really beautiful ways. Like water ripples that emanate out from a touch.
Confirmation, or mass hysteria? Whatever it is, we'll be on the lookout for more details. [TechCrunch]
