According to Guardian, the Google Phone or Gphone will be a smart phone or personal digital data assistant (PDA) powered with Windows Mobile and manufactured by HTC, the leading Taiwanese firm in creating smartphones and Windows Mobiles.

The Google apps that may be integrated into the GPhone include location-based web search with GPS functionality, Google Maps, Google Earth, Gmail, mobile search, and even ability to stream Youtube video contents smoothly to the mobile phone.
