The Google Phone: The Story So Far, Some Launch Details & What’s Next
The Wall Street Journal has been reporting on Google’s mobile phone efforts and how it is beginning to draw some interest from carriers, especially in the United States. Sprint (S) and Verizon (VZ) are in talks with Google (GOOG), according to the Journal, and an announcement by the company is expected sometime in November. Here is what I have been able to gather from my sources:

Last March NBC Universal and News Corporation announced a joint venture that we initially thought would result in a direct competitor to YouTube.

Current TV: $2 Billion or Bust?
Certainly we need to be wary that we don’t slip, as a tech culture, into the dot com days of old. I think though, despite the swelling of their collective heads Gore’s folks at Current seem to have, we are a far cry from a true bubble/bust cycle like we survived ten years ago.
