Tech realms have been abuzz with the rumor. So I want to know for sure...whether the sources are true or false. These rumors claim that Google is planning to market its own smartphone based on its Android operating system. If true, then this would mark a more aggressive move on Google's part, for up to this point Google has relied on other partners to build and market Android phones. Not only would Google become a force in the area of mobile phones, it could also put Google at odds with those partners. Those other companies include Verizon Wireless and Motorola. Such a also venture has the potential to sharpen Google's competition with Apple, whose iPhone dominates the high-end smartphone market in the United States.
On December 11th, Google began distributing new phones to their employees, who in turn posted comments on Twitter about the phones. Apparently, some referred to the devices as the new "Google phone."
Then, on December12th, Google confirmed that they are testing a new concept in mobile phones:
So it will be interesting to see what all this hype is about. I am looking forward to actually seeing 'an iPhone on beautifying steroids." Hmmmm...should Apple be concerned? How will they respond to Google's latest challenge? They may just have to spar it out with Google. May the best smartphone win.

The new device appears to have impressed some of those few individuals who have laid eyes on it. A touch-screen device that has no keyboard and resembles the HTC MyTouch, Google's mysterious new phone is causing quite the stir. The Twitter user GreatWhiteSnark said of it: “A friend from Google showed me the new Android 2.1 phone from HTC coming out in Jan. A sexy beast. Like an iPhone on beautifying steroids.”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.
