Rumours that Google would move into the phone business have been swirling for a while. Now comes further evidence that Google is at least considering such a move. A recent New York Times article looking at how companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are moving their services to mobile devices such as cellphones, there is a mention that Google has already built a prototype to test out the mobile software it is developing.
Whether this phone ever makes it out of the R&D lab is another question though. The article goes on to suggest that rather than making its own phones, Google is looking to partner with existing hardware manufacturers to include the Google software on their phones.
Or maybe Google will just buy a hardware manufacturer and, presto, Google phones galore…
