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.

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.
