TechCrunch Theory Of Unidentified Google Phone Has The Backing Of Unidentified Sources

Michael Arrington of TechCrunch thinks that despite all denials from Google, the company is working on its own branded phone that it will sell direct through retail channels beginning early next year.

The report on TechCrunch claims that the Google phone information is from reliable sources and the handset is likely to be manufactured by Korean companies LG or Samsung.

The Google phone rumors started in October where it was claimed that Google is working with a smartphone manufacturer to have a Google branded phone available this year.

If the rumors are to be believed then the move would fulfill Google’s pledge to bring a new generation of open-standard mobile Internet devices to consumers. By bypassing the carriers, who keep tight controls over the features and applications that are allowed on phones, Google will presumably offer a device that lets users determine the functions.

According to the blog on TechCrunch:

    “The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba). There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.”
