Yup, that’s absolutely a humble statement. Oh, wait, you forgot about Android…

I hope it’s the tablet they said they’re going to make.

and I hope whatever it is it’s not those HUD glasses. HUD glasses is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.

I thought that was a lytro-formatted photo at first. I tried to click on it to focus, but to no avail.

who said the picture has anything to do with the article? I don’t see a picture in the FCC filing.

It looks like a small netbook. Is this a product spawned from the mmi acquisition?

i’m not sure what i could use this for, though being able to communicate without being tied to carriers would be nice. at the same time, i really hope that they aren’t thinking of releasing it like this. it’s bland,very very plain looking. it almost looks like something some carrier might have came out with 5 years ago in order to try to be different, only to have the product completely bomb.

but it doesnt matter anyway, now that the news is out there,its only a matter of time before apple files for all the patents that google would need to do something like this,then sue google to keep them from releasing it. or maybe,just maybe,google has already taken care of that.

either way,do something about the way it looks

Don’t know what this is or going to be but if it does communication bypassing Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or any of those evil people then I’m interested.

Been saying for a while now, “why do we even need things like voice plans and text plans when everything can just go through google voice”.

Apple would never slap their logo on such a horrible looking concept that is precisely why anything with an Apple logo sells fairly well.

DS?

That style of device will never and never has been popular. This is ugly and will not sell.

Although if it had an Apple on the back it would lol

If that keyboard is correct, you won’t be able to hit only 1 key with your finger, they’re TINY!
Although using a small stylus (or 2!) could lead to quite quick typing..?

What we need is a “Fob Phone” - a tiny ultra-portable – no larger than 2″ x 2″ x 1/4″. This Fob should sync to a larger tablet, laptop, desktop, etc. – like a Matryoshka doll (you know – those dolls that get smaller and smaller and are contained within the last larger size.)

okay, so we had desktops, laptops, netbooks, shrinking… Then dumb phones, smart phones, tablets slowly growing. What is this, though? A fingertop? A handbook? What?

I think I would have rather them used a Google logo, or just a big question mark or something. This photo is a bit misleading. Even if you do realize it’s a stock photo, it puts an incorrect image in your head.

Still though, I’m super curious to see what Google is working on.

Yes, it’s just an old iriver palmtop.

That’s just a stock photo. not a photo of whatever the actual product is

Looks like an updated 2 way pager.
