Given that the Google Phone is something of a Holy Grail in certain quarters, color me skeptical. If it does come to fruition, though, it seems that, rather than partnering with a carrier, it would be more logical that a true Google Phone would focus on Google Voice. A phone that routed voice over the 3G signal, and which could hop from carrier to carrier using an overall Google data contract instead of individual contacts, would be a game changer.

Extremely unlikely, though.

Google Maps on Android already does this, or at least most of it. I've used it several times. Simply ask for directions from "My location" to your destination and, when they show up in text form, click "show on map."

Works great.

Man, that's cold.
