Google handset confirmed?

Digitimes have gone out on a limb to confirm the existence of a Google phone. According to them, “Google will definitely launch its own-brand handset but has yet to finalize the handset’s specifications, OS, production contractor and operating partners, according to sources at Taiwan handset makers.” It would seem that the fabled Google phone will come with 3G connectivity as well, and will probably launch sometime in the first half of next year. It is also not out of place to suggest that the Google phone will run on a self-developed operating system, a move that will introduce yet another player to the Windows Mobile and Symbian duopoly.
