So Google is not making there own phone, doesn't mean Ammunition Group isn't working on a Android phone. With that in mind, the design deparments of most of the OHA handset manufacturers have been doing fine these past years. The only one that has failed to come up with anything inovative is Motorola. They need some amunition badly, and hopefully we are going to get a new awsome handset.

Re update: "So what is with the TechCrunch source within Ammunition Group" - Mr. Arrington has truly lost his way. TechCrunch used to be a great source for information ( circa 2005 ). But now it's just this lame echo chamber for all his conflicts of interest ( he invests in Silicon Valley company, promotes them on his blog as "news" and writes hatchet pices on competing products ).

I actually deleted TechCrunch from my feed reader earlier this year after Arrington started calling for employees at Twitter to be fired, a tacky, self serving ( claims to hate Twitter, but uses it to promote his blog. WTF? ) hate fest of negativity.

Oh brother, this again? My default reply to the obtenth time the subject of a physical "gPhone" being sold by Google: They already sell hardware, they're just not very good at:

http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa/onebox.html

And their hardware sells in very low volume, and is expensive. So it is not that big of a deal if they decide to make very, very low volume expensive phones, in fact who cares? The One Box isn't a threat to Dell, and some $1000 branded phone won't drive Apple or Nokia out of the phone business.

Come on people! Its the Android OS software when combined with Mobile AdSense that is the BIG deal!!!

What is it 2007? They better stop the rumors and bring a new real solid phone. By the end of the year, Android will be eaten alive by Tegra, WM7 and eye-candy iPhone 3rd part apps, unless they release a real phone, now./

It's too late for rumors.

Slow Sunday News - using heresay as opposed to a direct quote from the Google execs to stoke these flames - I wouldnt put too much stock into it - for now.
