Google leader denies 'GPhone'

In a statement sent to Australia's Financial Review, Google Southeast Asia CEO bluntly denied that the company was working on producing a mobile phone for itself.

But 48 hours ago, there was another Google leader who spoke up to confirm the exact opposite.

On Tuesday, Nomura Richard Windsor analyst said at the CeBIT fair that was taking place in Germany, he had seen a document sent to the press with the content: " Google confirms it is studying production. a mobile phone for my own ".

Google Southeast Asia CEO Richard Kimber told Australia Financial Review that his firm has no intention of producing GPhone. Kimber also quoted the person who has made the current "Google" empire - Vinton Cerf - insisted that Google is a software vendor, not a hardware manufacturer.

" Google does not need to produce hardware with the sole purpose of attaching its brand to it ."

This is also the opinion of Wall Street analysts. According to them, Google is working on developing its software to run its services on mobile phones, not a mobile phone.

Piper Jaffray, an analyst with Gene Munster, said it seems that Google is developing mobile web search software and location services software for Apple iPhone and some other phone companies.

The rumors about Google products were once wrong with the previous truth. A few years ago, the media also reported that Google researched its own PC. But it is actually free software, not a PC at all.
