Google Phones Home
    The Google phone is 
nearly 
  ready to rock. And while it has nowhere near the fanfare of the iPhone, 
  this is clearly a significant product. The idea is the phone will tie closely 
  to Google search and apps, making it easy to find information, get maps and 
  perhaps feed Google all your personal information. 
From all reports, the Google phone (sold only by T-Mobile) is fully featured. 
  But the real keys are usability, reliability and how well these features work. 
  It took Microsoft a long time to get phones right, and even Apple has had its 
  hiccups (and Apple has been building operating systems since 1976, way before 
  Microsoft got into the game). 
But is the real play Android, the OS that drives the Google phone? Could this 
  be the basis of a range of intelligent devices that ultimately replace our laptops 
  and desktops and thin clients? PC World weighs 
  in on this without reaching any major conclusions.
