As compared to any particular phone, this is more about how the software on a phone can be extended - at the moment whatever OS a phone is running is what you get - not much scope to extend it, but with the Google Phone software I think the idea is to allow software developers to write applications etc that you can install on the phone to further extend its capabilities. So apart from being able to run Google apps, the software will allow 'other' apps to run too. Sure PDAs and the like already allow this but this will probably be a more 'open' solution. Hi Raj,

I have been looking at the LG U990 Viewty phone as my next one - how is that so different to the "Google Phone"? Where can I get this phone from and when?
