Google Phone will be the IP-phone
Future phone Google, rumors about the appearance of which appeared recently, can not support any of the cellular communication protocols.
The device will communicate with the mobile operators and other providers of wireless communication, but only for data, and calls will occur through IP-telephony using a program similar to Skype.
For us in this format will have to pay about $20 a month. In particular, such a tariff offers AT & T. This operator has had to deal with users who want to abandon a cellular protocol and limited only to the transfer of data. Così, for example, some owners of BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. With the iPhone is not an option, because its price is taken into account tariff for cellular communications, wrote cyberstyle.ru.
The move Google could initiate an interesting trend, which has the potential to resurrect the virtually ceded to non-existence concept of “pure” PDA, only at a new stage of development – to support rapid and inexpensive channel for data exchange. In recent years, thanks to IP-telephony, we are witnessing the convergence of mobile and broadband internet, so this scenario is quite predictable. It is possible that a few years of cellular communications in the classical form disappears, it will supersede broadband standards 3rd and 4 th generation. Who knows, maybe, Google is preparing in advance for such a development.
