Rumors are flying today that a ‘GPhone’ is soon to be announced.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Google has already shown its prototype to US companies AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, making it seem clear the Google Phone’s launch will definitely take place in the United States.

Indian blog Rediff said the GPhone will be launched in two weeks simultaneously in the United States and Europe, adding that Google was talking with Indian telephone operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar, and that Bharat Sanchar Nigam could be one of the manufacturers.

Google has refused to make any comment on the rumors.

I don’t know why Google would be making their own handset. Hardware is not exactly their forte, and with Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the Apple board of directors I’d expect an iPhone / Google partnership over Google going it alone with their own hardware.
