Speculation hit fever pitch yesterday over the possible shape of Google’s next foray into telecoms as a host of blogs carried pictures of what was claimed to be a low-cost, internet-enabled handset – the “Gphone”. The well-regarded Engadget site said that Google would make an announcement as soon as next week. Reports said that the Gphone would retail for as little as US$100 (?50) when it makes its debut in United States.
