Insiders say Google Phone in the works

Google is developing its own mobile phone, according to industry insiders and analysts, while a Google official in Spain last week acknowledged the company is ‘investigating’ such a project. Google isn’t commenting directly on leaks from Europe and the United States which describe a low-cost, internet-connected phone with a colour, wide-screen design. Richard Windsor, a phone analyst in London, said late last week that unspecified Google representatives at a major European conference in Germany had confirmed the company is working on its own phone device. ‘Google has come out of the closet at the CeBIT trade fair admitting that it is working on a mobile phone of its own,’ Windsor said in a note entitled ‘Google Phone: From myth to reality.’ Lending further clues, Isabel Aguilera, head of Google’s Iberian operations, was quoted last week in Spanish news site Noticias.com as acknowledging the existence of a part-time project by some Google engineers to develop a mobile phone.
