Want video? Install an application. Want chat? Install a application. Want chat on many services (AOL, MSN, GChat, etc.) install a app. Movies, install a app. Word processor or spreadsheet? Install a app. If you can do it on your computer, then you'll be able to do it on your gphone if it's got the processor and memory (assuming a "true" Linux kernal). I only have 2 questions for this phone. Will it have a true Linux kernal and will it have enough processor and memory (with the ability to upgrade the memory/disk storage) to put the Linux OS to use and gain it's full potential. Most internet servers run under Linux, many government offices and many small and large corporations run Linux. The OS has more than enough power to do anything you want. Will the phone have the power to use the OS? Google NEEDS to set a minimum "system requirement" to use the Google OS.
