Google Phone is in the works, say insiders


Now that the iPhone has been announced, it seems folks are now waiting with baited breath for the Google Phone. It has been rumored for sometime now and apparently there are some "insiders" that have now confirmed this. However, Google has yet to confirm official this "insider" news and officially report on a Google Phone. What is exciting about this phone is that it is rumored to have a low cost to it.

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc. is developing its own mobile phone, according to industry insiders and analysts, while a Google official in Spain last week acknowledged the company is "investigating" such a project.

Google isn't commenting directly on leaks from Europe and the United States which describe a low-cost, Internet-connected phone with a color, wide-screen design. Newspaper and blog reports in recent months have Google shopping its phone design to potential mobile phone manufacturing partners in Asia.

"Mobile is an important area for Google," Google spokeswoman Erin Fors said on Friday. "We remain focused on creating applications and establishing and growing partnerships with industry leaders to develop innovative services for users worldwide. However, we have nothing further to announce."
