A Google Phone Concept

The flow of rumors regarding Dell phones, PSP phones and, in this case, Google's phone, seem to never end. What started everything? Why, Apple's iPhone, obviously.

Ever since the phone was unveiled customers started to have high expectations regarding every other phone that is to be released from other companies. Moreover, several companies that have nothing to do with phones are expected to enter the mobile market with a new product.

If the company has never produced mobile phones before, the customers' expectations are raised even higher. The Google phone, although very anticipated, will most likely not be one of those cutting-edge full touchscreen phones.

Nevertheless, people will still have their own view on things, and this is why a designer named Dogor has decided to come up with a concept phone, revealing what he thinks the Google phone should be like. Judging by the way it looks like, the designer was inspired by the iPod/iPhone when creating this concept.

It keeps the minimalistic looks and snowy white color of the iPod, while adding a joystick and what appears to be a smaller touchscreen that will serve as a keypad for text input and navigation. Overall the phone looks quite nice, but it is already starting to be obvious that after the iPhone was revealed, we're going to see less and less concept phones, and in the end actual products, that don't come equipped with touchscreens and mostly multimedia features.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, it's for each one to decide. But the iPhone hasn't even been released, and already quite a few mobile phones we're getting to see look more or less like it.
