Two stands is barely a showing - most mid-tier adult content peddlers have more. This is a just-for-show appearance. Or maybe a "please develop for Andriod - we'll pay you!" effort.

The UI is basically an image that's been dropped on to some fugly looking abomination of a smart phone. It's not even a good fake image. I saw this image a few weeks ago on another blog and couldn't believe TC is taking it seriously and actually using it.

The current manufacturers are more than capable of doing that for them. The real power (and money-makers, I suppose) are in the software that drive the phones. We can all guess that at some point Google will be giving away phones with Android-related software built in for free. The catch is that, as with most Google services, they'll deliver ads to the phone as well. It's different, but as we've seen with the more traditional web-based apps, it works. People get free services, and Google make a fortune. Fair play to them. There’s no reason for Google to develop handsets of their own.

It's not the first time we see a rumor about Gphone, but all Google has done is releasing apps for mobile. I agree with others about the fact that Google is more about software.

The everlasting rumors of a Motorola or Nokia takeoves don't seem to gather traction. And Palm is here in Silicon Valley. Plus Palm OS needs an overhaul.
