Google have previously stated that they do not intent to produce their own hardware, rather they intend to develop the Linux based ANDROID mobile phone software platform for deployment on partner’s devices.

There is further speculation about whether some devices might be available around Christmas time.

The 700Mhz license which was won at auction by Verizon requires that they do not restrict the devices which can be used to connect to the network. It seems that Verizon may be trying to implement some restrictions and Google, who are likely to soon release an Android based phone, aren’t happy about it.

The 700Mhz spectrum allows for a contiguous wireless network, ideal for mobile VoIP devices, to operate across the continental United States.
