Google Phone - really

Source: www.voip-news.com

According to an inside source, there really is going to be a Google phone - of some kind. This may just mean that the Android phones coming out from people like HTC are going to have  Google logo on them. Or does it mean that Google will somehow sell hardware - like a rebranded HTC?

Who knows? But the source was good. So was the “oh %$#$ I shouldn’t have said that.”

So - how about we get some votes in the comments for what is really going to happen

1. Google is going into the hardware biz and aims to take Nokia down.

2. Google is going to rebrand a couple of thrid party harware manufacturers’ devices in order to prime the pump for Android

3. Google is going to slide its logo onto any and every Android phone

4. Google will stay out of hardware and stick to software

5. What’s Android?

and finally, for the conspiracy theorists

6. Google is going to go ahead and with whatever dark fiber it has snapped up, add in whatever airwave bands it has grabbed, move into the mobile device space and take on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Orange, Nokia, LG, Samsung and Apple all at once…
