So the Google Phone Is Real!
There really is a Google Phone! The company has started giving away these devices to its employees, who started tweeting about it last night, and the company had to make an announcement this morning. In a blog post on the Android Blog, Mario Queiroz, Vice President, Product Management writes:
We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe. This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it. Unfortunately, because dogfooding is a process exclusively for Google employees, we cannot share specific product details. We hope to share more after our dogfood diet.

Google Phone By HTC – Early 2010?
Phandroid has joined the Engadget/TechCrunch discussion on the Google Phone. While previously they said there is no chance that Google will have their own branded phone, now they “hoping I have to admit I was wrong all along.”
Here is what one of their sources say about the Google Phone in response toTechCrunch:
- January is optimistic, “first part of the year” would be more accurate
- HTC is definitely making a Google Phone at Google’s request
- Google is assisting and providing input on hardware decisions, but after acknowledging less than perfect hardware decisions on the G1 (which they did dictate) it’s more of a collaborative conversation… with Google merely insisting on certain ideals.
- He can’t confirm/deny LG and Samsung Google Phones but thinks it unlikely at this point
- Could eventually alter the economics of the industry
Guess will have to wait and see…
