(was: Google to unveil mobile plans in next 2 weeks)
according to the Wall Street Journal...
Within the next two weeks, Google is expected to announce advanced software and services that would allow handset makers to bring Google-powered phones to market by the middle of next year, people familiar with the situation say.

Full youtube access, intergrated social networking and IM would make this a winner.
I wonder what they look like.

That's great... I want to see another phone company join in the race for the best phones... more competition = more improvement. |

Yeah, imagine this situation:
Friend: Hey, you've got a new phone, what model is it?
You: Well, it's... um.. it's a......... Google Phone.
Friend: What?
You: Google Phone.
Friend: You're kidding.
You: No.
Friend: Seriously?
You: Yes.
Friend: Oh, God, now if you tell me that Google made tha....
You: You ...could say that.
Friend: Google makes a phone and you had to buy it, didn't you?
You: Well, look at what it...
Friend: I don't care. You just couldn't buy a Sony Ericsson and call it a day, could you? I mean, why waste your money.
You: I hate you. |

GigaOM has more thoughts on this...
Here is what I have been able to gather from my sources:
- An announcement will likely be made Nov. 13th or Nov. 18th.
- Handset makers will use a Google Mobile OS platform.
- Google Mobile OS uses a highly optimized Mobile Linux; developers will be able to use a Java Development Kit. Google is said to have developed a highly optimized Java running on top of the OS. (Read our previous post, Five Facts about Google Phone)
- Most major handset makers, with the exception of Nokia (NOK), have devices with Google Mobile OS under development; Samsung and Motorola (MOT) are being linked to it as well. (as are HTC and LG Electronics, according to the Journal.)
- The operators who are likely to be part of the big announcement will be T-Mobile’s USA division and Bharti Airtel, one of India’s largest cellular carriers.
interesting... does this mean SE is one of the "most major handset makers"?

Well out of the major mobile OEM's Samsung, Moto and LG are doing and Nokia is not.
Can't see it myself - Sonyericgoog.
What will the googlephone be offering that isn't available already, or is it just seeking to muscle in?

Bharati Airtel India has definitely partnered Google in this...Airtel started showing a 1 minute ad a month ago showing "Google search now available in Airtel".The ad looked expensive compared to normal ads...i even mistook the first 30 sec of the ad for a trailer of the new Indiana Jones movie
