More phones in the lurking?

Communication is the core. Any product around it is big money. Deep pockets, a skilled design team and a “killer app” and perhaps a phone is not all that a bad idea. Consider this, there was another rumor rife at the Leipzig Games Convention that Sony Ericsson was planning a PlayStation based phone (PocketGamer) somewhere down the line.

With online advertising as the mainstay of its success, Google has a lot of options to play with to determining the price of the Gphone. Many feel that it will cost lesser than the iPhone, with perhaps similar features.

What often intrigues me is how the traditional mobile phone heavy weights are not at the center of these innovation flux. Did they never see these coming, a whole industry becoming a fundamental base for add on apps? As for a user, its indeed a rollicking time to own a phone. So with the limited speculation that is out there, would a GPhone interest you?
