So Google is not taking on the iPhone with a gPhone-though Android's presence may lead Apple to go faster in opening up its device to software developers, so the coolest apps won't be elsewhere. Instead it hopes to open up the floodgates for dozens of phones that will run its software and use its search technology.

    I don't have a problem with some other company building another new phone, but where I live T-Mobile and Sprint are not availble to us. All we have are Alltel and Verizon. It really isn't fair to the rest of us.

    From my Japan trip:
    "Rhuggle is a bunch of boy scouts with no den-master! They are just a bunch of spoiled rich kids on a perpetual holiday, no order or discipline. They only exist in that I allow it, I find them amusing, it's like watching a house on fire or some other tragedy, you know it's repulsive but you just can't look away!"

    The reporters were taking in my words like Saki, they just couldn't get enough! So I decided to throw them one more bone!

    "I have to go now, but since I'm on Rhuggle, let me say this about this 'Android" thing they announced: It is just like the rest of Google ..ahem, I mean Rhuggle, IT ONLY EXIST ON PAPER! Don't fall for this vaporware, rumors, fake-half-baked hype that they peddle!"

    Okay, I'm out. I quit. I officially secede from trying to keep up with the gadget race. Just when you think you've found the latest, greatest thing, the next one comes out. It's too much. I can't imagine how any of these so-called technological advancements benefit anyone except the people who make them.

    Honestly, does anyone NEED any of this stuff, or is it just a desire to have the newest, coolest toy first? Just try to find a cell phone that is JUST a phone anymore. And, if you do, good luck getting any carrier to give you a resonable calling plan. People are getting suckered into laying out hundeds, even thousands of dollars, over and over, trying to get the one piece of technology that 'does it all' with all the prerequisite bells and whistles, etc.

    If anybody needs to contact me, just call my home phone... it has no camera and it doesn't access the Internet, but always works.
