Its been a sudden outbreak of Google everywhere on the web. Android might be a great OS for mobile devices, but now,Google’s hardware + Android (Google) software is making its introduction in the market. Though the introduction is an unofficial one, as of now.

The phone above might be the Google phone or the “Nexus one”. The phone looks similar to the HTC Bravo/Passion. So the hardware vendor for this (to work along with Google) might be HTC. If you remember, the G1/Dream, was the first android device manufactured by HTC.

Rumors say that this phone will be released and sold directly by Google. As of now the only people who have access or own the phone are some of the Google employees. A lot of tweets about this device flooded in the past 2 days.

A recent post at the google mobile blog :

“At Google, we are constantly experimenting with new products and technologies, and often ask employees to test these products for quick feedback and suggestions for improvements in a process we call dogfooding (from “eating your own dogfood”). Well this holiday season, we are taking dogfooding to a new level.

We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe. This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it.

Unfortunately, because dogfooding is a process exclusively for Google employees, we cannot share specific product details. We hope to share more after our dogfood diet.” - Mario Queiroz, Vice President, Product Management

Lets hope to see an official info from Google on this device. We will update you as and when we hear/see things.
