The highly-anticipated non-existent gadget last year was hands-down the Google Phone, or gPhone for short. However, those dreams were squashed when Google announced it’s creation of the Open Handset Alliance and released the Android platform.

However, just recently it seems there just might be some truth behind the whole gPhone rumor. Hollywood Reporter writer Dan Cox stated that:

“[...] 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.”

Apparently Cox was referring specifically to Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt.

Although many may not see the significance or difference between a gPhone and Android, the impact would be quite ground-breaking. Google’s ties with Apple regarding the iPhone have brought much speculation to the inevitable impact that Android will have on the Apple/Google relationship once the smoke clears. Time will tell whether an official gPhone ever appears.
