It's based on the kind of vertical thinking that has been proved wrong so many times in the past. Why can't they learn from, for example, the Xbox? Microsoft had a monopoly on a gaming platform, the PC. But it was an open platform, and they wanted "the whole chain" or something like that, which involved creating their own device. The result? $6 billion lost, and counting. This would be a really, really stupid move by Google. It’s based on the kind of vertical thinking that has been proved wrong so many times in the past.

Who gives a rats ass about the 'Google coolness factor' or whether they can design a phone let alone mobile appls. The point is they have the resources to buy spectrum and to offer it free of charge to joe schmoe for calls, surfing the net, im, etc. All for the price of targeted ads which of course have been the 'bane of existence' for millions using Google search ;-) So in the end, if big G can pull this off while partnering with HTC or another hw vendor to provide a superior user experience from the competition(which wouldnt be hard to do if they copy Apple), then it be a win/win for the consumer as rate plans will plummet in price.

This seems like a big distraction for Google and an odd direction to follow given their failure to create any great web app outside of GMail, which really isn't anything special. I don't see Google building on their strengths. If the device sucks, it will really hurt their image and might kill the Google coolness factor.
