There is still talk among the net waves of the Android powered smartphone, the gPhone and will there be a possibility of actually seeing it launch this year. Well apparently, Sergei Brin and Larry Page the founders of Google, and CEO Eric Schmidt made a few statemants concerning the future of the “gPhone”.

Dan Cox, Hollywood Reporter and writer had this to say regarding their statements: “The trio of Google execs also used the opportunity to talk about the inroads the company is making with its own branded mobile phone as a replacement for the iPhone.”

“That’s not enough at all to make us think that the gPhone is actually going to be launched soon. But if we add to these statements the rumor that San Francisco based Ammunition Design Group is designing the gPhone we might have something here.”

“Ammunition Design Group has worked on various devices like Palm, Hewlett-Packard, Dell Computer, Logitech and Sprint so they know what they are doing. And in case it matters, the founder, Robert Brunner, was previously the director of Industrial Design at Apple Computer until 1997.”

“So are we going to be in for a surprise? An iPhone like gPhone? That should be some competition, with Google controlling the internet and the news flow. I wonder who would eventually win.”
