“There are 3 Android devices planned for an early 2010 (February) release ”
Is one of this devices the Google VoIP Device…
Cause I am pegging the release time for the GVIPD for Feb. 2010… Just from the rummor push for Android from Google..
I don’t know. Remember that this was announced in France where Google Voice isn’t available.
I would prefer a HTC made Google VoIP device…
And from this post… We might just might get it…lol
