Posted on 29. Mar, 2010 by Dean Whitney in Google and has 0 Comments
Rumors are spreading about Google’s plans to compete with the Apple iPad with their own tablet device – the GooglePad. This confirms earlier reports that suggested the device would launch on or around April 5. The update also confirms that the phone will be sold directly by Google via the web, with T-Mobile offering “billing, coverage, features and rate plans.”
