Google Phones (most probably in early, prototype form) will flood the Mountain View campus. They'll don large LCDs while running a new version of Android—either Flan or the version of Android beyond it—which our source spotted running on Google's handset as well as a laptop. (Whatever the software was, it most certainly wasn't Chrome OS, we were assured.)" Gizmodo's "trusted source" has seen the Google Phone and says it's a "certainty," the report states. Though scant on specifics, the latest rumor does parallel TechCrunch's more detailed speculation two weeks ago. Arrington predicted that a slim Google-branded handset, built by Taiwanese cell phone giant HTC, would appear in early 2010. Then again, he also said the vaporous CrunchPad was a sure thing, and we know what happened there.
Given that Google Phone reports keep popping up from a variety of sources, there may indeed be something to this rumor. TheStreet.com in October stated that Google was developing an unlocked phone, according to Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumor, and that usual suspect HTC could be the manufacturer. The story also claimed the search giant was building its own line of Chrome OS netbooks. An aggressive move to compete directly with its hardware partners doesn't make a lot of sense, particularly if Google's ultimate goal is to establish Android as the Windows OS of mobile devices. A Google-branded phone is akin to Microsoft launching its own line of PCs.
