Interesting idea.

Earlier this month, Simeon Simeonov of Polaris Venture Partners wrote in his blog that an inside source told him the Google Phone will be a BlackBerry-like device running C++ at the core with an operating system bootstrap and optimized Java and that it would offer voice over Internet Protocol.
So this is cellular + VoIP?

Have Google released hardware before, or are you talking about software products?

For what I have read on a spaniard site, it is far from being confirmed… translation here:

New technologies - The director-general of Google Spain confirms that the company is working in the development of a mobile phone
