Google Doesn't Announce Google Phone

Doron's Take:

Google's announcement today of a new open software platform and an alliance of wireless heavy hitters was surprising for what it was missing. Sure, they formed a development community for the planned phones, but are the phones ever coming? On a conference call with analysts and press, Google did not really say 'no, we are not introducing a Google Phone.'

Google officially unveiled Android, the new mobile phone software. 34 companies have said they will join the Open Handset Alliance, a multinational alliance that will work on developing applications on the Android platform. Members of the alliance include mobile handset makers HTC and Motorola, U.S. operator T-Mobile, and chipmaker Qualcomm.
