Now that the Google Phone has been confirm, it is rumored that Google will be using the OpenMoko platform on Google designed hardware.

According to Phoronix.com, “A friendly penguin has told us at Phoronix that Google is looking to team up with OpenMoko for their “gPhone”. Google will not be using the FIC Neo1973 GTA01, but they will be bringing the open-source OpenMoko platform to their own hardware, which looks to be manufactured through HTC, and making a few changes along the way.”

I did predict that the Google phone would be Linux-based (although I suggested Ubuntu 😦 ) and a commenter on one of my posts informed me about the OpenMoko project(the Neo1973 running OpenMoko, pictured right).

Could this phone be even more hyped than the iPhone?
