Google phone details Google's smart phone is a very badly-kept secret in general, but details have been hard to come by. Slowly, though, bits and pieces of specific information are starting to seep through the wall of non-disclosure agreements.

The first tantalizing bit is the name: gPhone seems the leading candidate for the upcoming device.
