Apparently Google has now confirmed that they will not be making a rumoured Google smartphone for their Android operating system reports an article over on Cnet.

Word has it that Google’s Android project president; Andy Rubin has said it would be unfair for Google to “compete with its customers” and that Google remains dedicated to Android as an OS for hardware makers.

Google did have a hand in the design of the original Android handset the T-Mobile G1 specifically the hinge, which reviewers didn’t like and Rubin joked that perhaps that’s why Google shouldn’t make their own hardware. So there it is no Google phone in the foreseeable future, but who knows what the future holds.
