Google, Microsoft, And Dell Are Developing A Wireless Device?


Posted by Stephen Wellman, Feb 14, 2007 08:54 AM

According to a report from Bloomberg, Google is working with Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Philips to develop a prototype wireless device. The proposed device would, supposedly, use some variant of Wi-Fi. I'm not sure if this is the Google Phone or something else.


The companies, according to the article, will submit a request to the FCC to use vacant television airwaves, or white spaces, for wireless spectrum.

The wireless device in question would "provide consumer broadband access and networking." Stay tuned for more updates on this one.
