Google has just broke cover on the long-awaited Gphone, but it's not what was rumored. Instead, the company has announced a new initiative called the Open Handset Alliance, which will be built around a new cell phone OS called Android. Google will offer this OS, but won't make the phones. Instead, hardware companies such as HTC will make the phones, and other companies will produce the software that runs on it. This software will be from a range of companies, with all of the programs co-operating to share data.

 Contrary to hot rumors on the internet, including yours truly, Google appears to be more interested in creating software for cell phones, rather than an actual new phone itself.
The goal appears to be creating software that can run services on mobile devices. Google wants to transfer its web search technology to the cell industry, along with location finding services.
Analyst Gene Munster states, "We believe Google is working with, not against, Apple in the mobile world."
