That is the question for Google Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG), regarding their rumored phone, which DigiTimes says is "definitely" on its way.On one hand, launching the phone with 3G would delay it until the first half of next year, meaning the phone would miss the key holiday shopping season and give the Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone that much more of a head start. On the other hand, the biggest complaint about Apple's iPhone has been the subpar service on AT&T Inc (NYSE: T), which does not use 3G, so launching a consumer smartphone with 3G could be a huge selling point for Google.
In addition to Apple, the decision will also affect the technology companies that produce these parts. Originally, Google was rumored to be using EDGE technology for the phone, from Texas Instruments Inc (NYSE: TXN), but if Google decides to go right to 3G, then Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: QCOM) could be the big contract winner, according to DigiTimes sources.
