Report: Google shows phone prototype to manufacturers

Reports say Google has developed a customized handset, is talking to cell phone manufacturers and wireless carriers.


Google has developed a prototype cell phone that could reach markets within a year, and plans to offer consumers free subscriptions by bundling advertisements with its search engine, e-mail and Web browser software applications, according to a story published today in The Wall Street Journal.


Google is showing the prototype to cell phone manufacturers and network operators as it continues to hone the technical specifications that will allow the phone to offer a better mobile Web browsing experience than current products, the story said.



Google did not return calls for comment.
