Rumors: HTC to release 50000 handsets on Google OS

An analyst from UBS has confirmed that HTC will release about 50000 handsets powered by an operating system from Google. The rumors on the so-called Gphone have long been roaming in the world web, being even several times cancelled and then resumed. At the same time it’s not yet clear whether the company plans the Google-branded device or just the operating system for different mobile devices.


The UBS man noted that the first batch of Google OS powered handsets isn’t for commercial use, but for developers to demonstrate software capabilities. The commercial shipments will probably take place next year or later. In addition the source said HTC wouldn’t be the only maker of Google OS devices.
