Who cares if basically the entire world will have an iphone by the time any announcement is made (if you’ve tried to get your hands on an iphone this week, you know what I’m talking about).

I don’t see this happening.. Google can’t make hardware! They can’t even get Android out the door yet!

Hardware phones are very far removed from Google’s original business. At least Apple was making mp3 machines and computers; the iPhone uses many of the same skills. I’m not saying a phone business won’t succeed, but they’ll have to enter it in a big way or risk ending up like Motorola (a telecommunications giant with now spinning off its phone business), or else not making much money off its phone business but hoping it’ll boost the android business, which in turn helps Google dominate the mobile search industry.

Looks more like the Google Failphone to me.

Ha! it is obvious that they dropped the rumor so that people would pass on the iPhone, it is a good strategy for Google, if in fact they have a gPhone on the works. Also, this works to google’s advantage in their efforts to push out Android in their partner’s headsets. I guess time will tell.

I’m just hoping Google does the two thing Apple didn’t: make this thing available to any/all networks and at a descent price. Do the one thing we hoped the jEsusphone would do and change the way handsets are marketted and sold here in the US.

What I don’t understand is why all the cloak and dagger crap. If your making a phone let us know. That way I don’t lock into a contract with another carrier. I would gladly wait 6-12 months if I knew Google was making a phone to see how it stacks against other makers handsets at the time. Seems silly

…and this is why I’m waiting until next year before I even consider upgrading to a new phone (there may even be proper carrier competition in Canada by then!)

The Gphone and Android platform should be something to reckon with!
