Isabel Aguilera, Google’s chief executive in Spain and Portugal, has confirmed the existence of Google Phone. Engadget writes,
“It seems that the oft-rumored handset from Google has taken that final leap into the “confirmed” column, though it may not be quite the be-all, end-all device we were expecting. Isabel Aguilera, Google’s chief executive in Spain and Portugal, has admitted that the searchmeisters have some mobile goodness in the works but appeared to play down the project, noting that the phone is just one of 18 R&D initiatives the company currently has underway. Furthermore,she mentioned that Google’s mobile skunkworks were designed to make their way into developing countries, suggesting that this may not be the Samsung sourced, iPhone-killing monster we’d been getting an earful about as of late.”
Google Operating System speculates that the future Google phone could be something in line with the One Laptop per Child initiative, while Gizmodo is speculative of the whole thing,
“Why Aguilera would bypass Google HQ and release info on the GPhone is beyond me, so we’re not 100% convinced yet, and you shouldn’t be either. Call us skeptical, but we’ll become believers once there’s an official announcement, not a thread of “could be” quotes.”
