The Apple iPhone is probably the handset that generates the most chatter on the web. Anything and everything regarding the iPhone is eagerly lapped up by fans of the device, and Apple do a good job of capitalising on this.
Recently, though, the most talked about phone is a handset that may not even exist, the fabled Google Phone. There is a lot of talk about the possibility of Google producing their own handset, hardware and firmware, and has been for years now. The rumours first started before the launch of Android, where Google were rumoured to be making their own phone, only for the Android operating system to be announced. The first phone running on the Android OS, the G1, released soon after.
The rumours have never really gone away though, and in the last few weeks they have returned with some force, with internet chatter reaching fever pitch. To be honest, it is hard to sort out the ‘could be true’ rumours from the ‘you’ve got to be kidding’ stuff. As the talk started to rise in level, it came to light that Google had in fact given some of their employees an ‘unknown’ handset, running on Android 2.1. This news soon spread across the web, with the Google employees openly talking about the phone on Twitter.
