Rumors of the alleged Google phone can now come to a stop, says the Sydney Morning Herald:

Google's South-East Asia managing director of sales and operations, Richard Kimber, yesterday echoed statements made by Google's chief internet evangelist, Vinton Cerf, that building hardware would be a dramatic shift in the company's business model.

Kimber said Google was keen on porting its search and other technologies to mobile devices, but it was not interested in entering the crowded handset market, as Apple has recently done with its iPhone.

Yesterday Matt said something very similar:  Google should focus on partnerships, content, and software… not on building a mobile phone.

Apparently, that's exactly what they're doing.
