Google Phone may be a reality by early 2010
November 19th, 2009 by Kunal
There have been enough rumours, and an equal number of ‘NO’ responses by Google. But somehow the keen interest by Google in the mobile phone industry (more than half of Google’s web products are available for handsets – case in point: the Android) makes me ask: what’s next? Somehow, all roads (or more roads) are leading up to a Google Phone.
All the work Google has put into the Android OS with the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Eris, and other Android phones appear to have just been a warm-up for the Google Phone. Rumour has it that the Google Phone will only be branded by Google, and the handset itself may be manufactured by another phone manufacturer. HTC is the closest phone manufacturer to Google, with too much trust and effort already put into Google’s Android OS. But, TechCrunch claims that they have a “well-sourced rumour” that the Google Phone is under development by a Korean phone manufacturer.
Now, this Korean phone manufacturer could be Samsung or LG. With Samsung being a major parts supplier to Apple, it might face some sort of conflict of interest if a partnership is in place with Google. So, if the Google Phone is being built in Korea, it has to be built by LG.
The rumours claim that the Google Phone could be officially released as early as January 2010. If Google really comes up with a handset by then, and with the Android application store also having (or should have at least) all the goodies and mobile apps for Android, the iPhone might actually be a run for their money.
We will surely have our eyes and ears glued to cyberspace (or to anyone willing to part with more information) for confirmation from Google regarding its own brand phone. Till then, keep saving for the big one.
