Google Phone launched !

Google has launched its first mobile phone - a serious competitor to Apple's much sought-after iPhone Name Gphone G1

Like its rival, the G1 offers a large touchscreen and fast internet access.

However, Google believes the handset's slide-out full keyboard will make emailing and web browsing easier.

The second killer difference is that the G1 uses a new operating system, called Android, for which other companies are encouraged to develop applications.
Google promises that the G1's internet access will be as fast as any laptop computer, and it contains built-in support for the video-sharing website.
