As has already been pointed out, there is not going to be any "gPhone",
at least not right away. There will be android, however:

And a quick demo on prototype hardware suggests that this will be very
interesting indeed:

I see that the response from callmepanty.com was immediate.
You can download the SDK and an emulator right now.
Oh yeah: and they're offering $10 million in prize money to developers.
This could get pretty interesting.
I'd say! This is a huge development. I see that "Android is built on the
open Linux Kernel." We also have OpenMoko, also a mobile Linux coming up.
I can see that T-Mobile is in on Android. Good for them. They've been
doing the coolest stuff lately. Maybe that's because they are more
international than some (they are headquartered in Germany).
The one thing I don't like is that Google is giving prizes for any sort of
application. There is no requirement that the app be distributed under a
free software license. So, for example, couldn't Microsoft or Sun win the
contest?
