Well the sad news is that there is no gPhone coming. Atleast not as a product that people are going to be able to own like the iPhone.
...BUT whats exciting is that Google is releasing Android - the platform over which there could be many many gPhones.
Android is an open source platform that will help developers develop new applications for the mobile phone. If what I understand of the Android is right, it seems to me that the mashups are going to become a core part of mobile phones too! I could have my own customized combination of software mashups on my phone like we all do on Facebook!
See the demo of the android (In the video, Sergey Brin says, "...I'd like to tell you about something I'm really excited about" in the most non-enthusiastic way... thats not too inspiring for 5th richest guy on the Forbes400 list.)

I have to say that I am truly amazed by the ZOHO Suite of web applications.
Seems to me like they are going to give Google Docs and 37 Signals a run for their money if they play their cards right! Both these companies do have their own unique advantages - 37Signals being a pioneer in the online collaboration space has its own advantages and signature simplicity of design while Google Docs has the biggest advantage of the large Gmail user base, therefore getting more visibility.
But there is plenty of space for competition in the 'online desktop & workspace'. Individually, the ZOHO applications are not as meaningful as they are together. Although I've just seen the Zoho suite at the surface level I'm only hoping that they have integrated these apps internally to provide the user a seamless experience.
And this is only the beginning !! :)
