Why do we get so much non-apple news leaking into mac rumors these days? I have engadget for that...
Because it brings in ad revenue for Arn.

You know how in nightmarish sci-fi films everything is driven by advertising? I fear Google - and by their monkey-see, monkey-do nature, Microsoft - are taking us down that path. I can't wait to be retinally scanned and have street billboards talk to me by name.
I'd rather pay for some of my services than get them for free and be subjected to endless marketing brainwashing. But maybe that's just me.
(Of course there's cable television, where I both pay for the services and get subjected to endless marketing brainwashing...)
Awesome. As a big user of Google Voice, if there is seamless integration with Google Voice and Gmail, I may seriously consider it when my iPhone contract is up in Oct 2010.
So, will Google force us to view an Ad before we can answer a call?

Seriously, what's there to compete with anymore these days? Consumers pretty much base their decisions on the computer platform they are using.
For instance, am I born and raised stupid PC? I'll go with the Droid or whatever Google provides in future?
Is Mac in my blood? Yup. I'll take the iPhone please so it can sync up properly to my Mac.
Which carriers will it be compatible with - any clues or guesses?
probably not, since apple wants to buy admob.

Yep, I agree, balls or cluelessness! It amazes me the manufacturers didn't make sure this would never happen before using Android. Maybe they really knew this was coming and didn't care. I hope M$ will copy Google instead of Apple for once and start making PCs lol. Actually one day if the PC makers continue to tank maybe they just might do that. That would be interesting!
That's where Ive dominates - true passion for the aesthetics, and you can see it in his work.Will it have the sex..? As in, as Steve Jobs said when the PowerBook was released. What makes the iPhone appealing is its looks - minimalistic. One button, silver bezel, all glass front. Shiny. That's sexy.
They have name recognition in the blogosphere, but they had name recognition with the G1. The average Joe thinks that was the first bona-fide 'Google Phone'.Well they have name recognition, but do they really want to open this can of worms?
ayyyy,.. not always true, but for the most part it is.. sometimes I wish had never bought a Mac, never got an iPhone, and.. well..., never got caught by evil appleto put it in Sideshow Bob's words: i've grown accustomed to 'his' face

That right there might be what it takes for the wife and I to move to Android. IMO I think that's a huge longshot, but we'll see. But I'd be all over that.Here's an article from TechCrunch. They're speculating that it may not be a full-fledged phone, but one driven by VOIP & Google Voice:

I guess it’s possible, but I don’t see Google doing this. Do they have, or are they implementing the associated IT systems necessary to be in the product business? Can they keep track of inventory? Can they send an invoice? Can they collect money?
I thought AT&T didn't even have the bandwidth and network to allow us to talk using VOIP or stream TV?? Now someone is gonna pay way less a month and take that advantage? Its not like they are gonna be able to improve their network that much by the time this thing would be released.
Wow, If this is true I can't even begin explain how many ways this is just wrong.
