All I'm saying is that:
* Google hasn't made any official comment about the release of
their phone. On the contrary, they have showed many times before that they're only interested in software development, not hardware.
* The Google phone thing is only talked about on various blogs (some notorious ones like TechCrunch I admit), but then again, this is not the first time bloggers announce a 'Google Phone'.
* On the #android IRC channel, no one seem to deny that it is just a rumor; I've tried many times.
* Releasing their own phone would be really bad for Android, an OS they gave away to the constructors to use. There are many people who talked about it, I don't have time to explain why exactly right now.
Now the rumor might be true, but call me pessimistic, I won't believe it until I see something 'official' from Google. Let's wait for next month.
PS the link you gave is dead battikh.
