Google phone in the final stages
Rumors has it that the Google branded gPhone is on its way. Now when exactly is a different story. Our brothers at Engadget report that sources at the DigiTimes have said that Google will definitely be launching a handset. The mobile OS is rumored to be Linux-based. The only issue is that hardware specs, production facility, and operating partners are still getting worked out.
As for the handset design, Google is supposedly leaning towards a 3G device instead of a full EDGE compatible cellphone, this all leading to a first quarter 2008 release.
We suppose we will wait for the initial gPhone announcement before deciding on whether to drop some coin on Google's device or the iPhone.

I don't see this happening unless Google wins 700Mhz spectrum auction in January of 2008. Just doesn't make sense to announce GPhone before that date since I don't think that Google will rely on some insanely-for-profit and anti-consumer corporation (Sprint, AT&T) as their partner/coverage provider. Ain't happening. They have to get cell phone spectrum at first, there's no other way around.
