Google Phone is coming! Google confirms that they’re testing a device internally (or “dogfooding” as they refer to it):

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.

And then TechCrunch adds all sorts of fun details from a supposedly solid source:

There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.

Perhaps most importantly, they say they’ll sell it as an unlocked phone, meaning you SHOULD be able to use it with any carrier. But rest assured every carrier (well, AT&T and Verizon at least) will not welcome Google’s unlocked device with open arms.
