Google/ Apple Phone

The Register reports that Google and Apple join forces to create the “ultimate phone”:

<<In keeping with the iPod tradition, the “ID” has no power switch. In fact, there are no buttons at all. More surprisingly, Jonathan Ives’ industrial design means there’s no room for a SIM card, or any embedded cellullar radio circuitry.

As a consequence, the “ID” is incapable of making or receiving telephone calls - but Apple says this is a feature most of its target market won’t miss.

“People said they wanted an iPhone above all, to make a statement about themselves,” an Apple engineering source told us. “Let’s face it, they don’t like talking and most of them have no one to call anyway.">>

[Thanks David Hetfield!]
