When a rumor comes back by and by again, does it become fact? The once rumored “GPhone” from Google has popped up again that instance in the style of a Wall Street Journal report.

Apparently, prototypes of the Google phone has been shipped out to mobile phone manufacturers and network operators. The big news around that announcement, however, is not the hardware features. Rather, the big story, is the proposed subscription model that Google is rumored to be approaching mobile networks with.

whether Google gets their way, it will not be a debate amoung the $600




iPhone and the $XXX GPhone. The proposal is for a free subscription model subsidized by paid advertising through web search, web browsing, and mail.

But the write-up on Monsters and Critics takes it one step further offering up the possibility of paid advertising prior to each phone signal. With all the hubbub Google raised with their ad servers mining keywords from mail messages to deliver targeted ads in GMail, imagine the mass hysteria caused by phone shout composition triggering audio advertising!
