For those of you who practiced some serious restraint and decided to save your pennies for the second gen iPhone [0], behold the next superstar device which might make you change your mind: The Google phone. No word on specs yet, but I'm going to take a wild guess and assume it will be jammed packed with lots of Google [0] apps goodies that will rock anyone's online world. Supposedly Google has been working with Taiwan’s High Tech Computer (HTC) Corp to make this Linux-based phone far superior to the iPhone [0]. And yes, it will be here in less than a year. via techfresh [1]
