Google had distributed a new cellular phone that operates its Android software to several employees, raising another wave of rumours that the alleged Google mobile phone is authentic.
In a blog post published on Saturday, Google claimed the mobile units are being handed out so that their employees can test their new features. However, it did not state that the unit will be a Google-trademarked phone.
New speculations arose when a Google employee stated in her Twitter posting earlier, that she has the cell phone unit called the ‘Google phone’.
Even before the company revealed Android, spectators wondered if Google would create its own mobile brand. Rather, the search engine giant released an operating system, which other hardware marketers can use for their phones.
Mario Queiroz, Google’s vice president in product management, stated in a blog post that the company distributed the mobile units to employees in order to test their new technology.
“We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe,” he accounted. “This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it”.
While the label ‘Google phone’ has been mentioned to refer to a device created and branded by the company, some as well use the term to describe other phones operating on Android.
