So I think that refutes the idea that the person who created it had privileged knowledge.
However, it is interesting to read that two month article again especially since two of the three releases mentioned have happened:
The Desire was released as the Eris in the 4th quarter, check
The Whitestone was released as the Imagio in the 4th quarter, check again
Hasn't happened yet, as we know, however all the chatter about a gPhone and HTC Passion pretty much jives with the idea of HTC working to bring about the "next-generation Google phone" aka "The Passion". Two questions still remain; Will this happen in the 4th quarter as the source speculates and which carrier(s)? |
More likely 1st qtr of 2010. As for carrier, kinda has to be Verizon. I'm not aware of another company that has made quite the same agreement that VZW and Google announced. Releasing the Google phone on a smaller network would probably not have the same impact as Google would want.
The sad thing about this saga so far is the HD2 would be the king of phones right now, if it didnt have WinMo.
