Google may just opt to source the hardware from HTC and the likes and put their software in it. Thats what they are good at. Just that it is sort of the other way round here. For instance, nokia manufactures hardware and purchases Symbian/Windows licenses. But the phone is called Nokia anyways. But a Google name is what we are talking about here. And I dont see the reason as to why you should be so skeptical about it. The winner is you and me. The consumers. And what better place to launch than India. I am sure it would cost ~$250 or less.

I posted a few thoughts on Google's most likely business approach here ( http://hjalli.com/?p=281 ) - and it looks to me like the wireless operators might experience some turbulence in the next months :) I’m pretty sure the arrival of Google’s gPhone will shake the wireless industry even more than the arrival of Apple’s iPhone did.
