Google ‘Dogfooding’ a Self-Branded, GPS-Enabled Smartphone? Or Just Testing Android 2.1?
If you’re a gadget type of person then unless you’ve been hiding under a rock on a deserted island or otherwise avoiding the Intertubes lately, then you’ve no doubt heard about the so-called Google Nexus One handset. Of course, people have been talking about a Google phone for years (ever since it gobbled up a company working on what eventually turned into Android). There are no details yet (unless you work for The Google), but the company has confirmed what was up on its official Google Mobile Blog. It is a carefully-worded statement that doesn’t actually state that a Google-branded phone is in the works (as some would have us believe), or that the handset is actually what it is being tested.

Android and Win Mo 6.5 Are the Apparent Stars at CTIA as HTC, Samsung Handsets Debut
Good grief, more phone news than you can shake a stick at this week. It’s getting so a GPS gizmo blogger can’t even get out and get a little testing and geocaching done, but such is life when a CTIA tradeshow is going on. This isn’t the wireless juggernaut CTIA show — that’s in March — but a related tradeshow that prompts all sorts of mobile phone industry news as the U.S.-based wireless PR machines kick into high gear. New GPS-enabled phones are on the way from HTC and Samsung for Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mo and notably, all are either Android- or Windows Mobile-based. Win Mo 6.5 just rolled out, incidentally, and there’s even a Win Mo app store now — but Android seems to keep gaining traction, if these announcements are any indication.

Yet More GPS Smartphones: Palm Unveils a Pixi, Android Gets an HTC Tattoo
Well, summer is officially over as we reckon it here in the States, in spite of the fact that the equinox isn’t for another few weeks, and it will be another month at least (where I live) before the first frost and I stop sneezing. But in any event, now we can look forward to a bunch of gadgets and gizmos getting introduced or otherwise announced in the coming weeks as the electronics industry gears up for the holidays — especially from handset makers, as this is one sector of the biz that has weathered the economy reasonably well. We’ve already heard from Nokia recently, and this week both HTC and Palm unveiled new handsets, the Pixi and the Tattoo (another Android phone), respectively.
More Androids for T-Mo, CrackBerry Beats iPhone, Trent Reznor’s Apple Fanboy Status Challenged
Oh, boy, where to begin? It’s a manic mobile phone Monday out there in the gadget arm of the blogosphere, kids. More than a humble scribe can keep up with, but then we’re just concerned with the GPS-enabled smartphone highlights (because the GPS stuff is what we care about, after all). First up: the biggest news on this front is that it seems T-Mobile is going to have not one but three new Android phones to offer North America by the end of this year.
