A few days ago the Boston Globe sent a reporter to Google’s offices in Cambridge to dig some dirt on the Google phone. Sadly, there isn’t any new information about the GPhone in the Globe’s video report. However, the accompanying article has a handful of interesting tidbits:

One entrepreneur who has seen the Google phone prototype, but asked not to be named, described it as “simpler” and not as flashy as Apple’s iPhone.

He praised the phone’s ability to scroll through icons horizontally, making a number of different features easily accessible despite the limited screen space.

Another entrepreneur, who saw a prototype earlier this year, described three-dimensional, animated buttons on the screen. That prototype had a small QWERTY keyboard, like a Treo or a BlackBerry, rather than relying on a touch-screen, as the iPhone does.
