Speculation about the forthcoming Google phone. I'm excited to see what they do, especially with HTC as a partner. Google has the oomph to really change things in this industry. It might make sense to strike while all the iPhoners are pissed about the lack of hackability.

Quoted: Quiet Taiwanese company could become Google phone partner.

This service looks like it's going to be quite interesting and worthwhile. The promise is of one phone number for life. You get the phone number when you join and you can use that phone number and map it out to any number of auxiliary phone lines (work, mobile, etc.). You can check voice mail form any of your phone lines. You get email alerts, etc. You can also set up complex rules for managing all of the phone humbers and their respective routings.
