In fact, Gphone does not exist at all!

Tonight, I attended the IT龙门阵 held by Daidu Consulting (some people call it Dadu Consulting because both Mr. Niu and Mr. Liu have big bellies) at Tsinghua International Conference Center. This time, we listened to a wonderful speech by Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, the global vice president of Google and president of its China branch, as well as his interaction with netizens. Dr. Lee speaks Mandarin very well, much better than Mr. Liu Xingliang who has a strong Shanxi accent. Dr. Lee's Mandarin has a Beijing flavor. Unfortunately, there were too many people attending, so I didn't even get a chance to take a photo with Dr. Lee, which was quite regretful. Next time, I will remember to give Teacher Liu Xingliang some gifts first, hehe.

Dr. Lee used concise language to describe Google and express his vision for future search engines. In the future, search engines will be all-inclusive, not just web page searches, but also blog, community, vertical searches that need to be optimized and aggregated. He also mentioned that Google is a company that does aggregation and will focus on its own field.

During the meeting, a female reporter from CCID asked about the Gphone issue. Dr. Lee's response made many Gphone speculators realize the truth, which was somewhat unexpected. Dr. Lee stated that there is no such thing as a Gphone. The so-called Gphone is not a physical phone that Google plans to make, but an open mobile operating system.

Below, let me (Liu Huafang, haha) tell you all:

In fact, the Gphone actually comes from a rumor (rumor), and some netizens have designed a physical version of the phone.
