Rumour has it (according to Digitimes) that the legendary Google phone is to be manufactured by none other than HTC! Does this mean the Google phone will be Windows Mobile? You'd think so wouldn't you?

High Tech Computer (HTC) is now manufacturing Google handsets with shipments officially commencing at the end of 2007, according to handset component makers. The makers also said the shipment volume will reach as high as one million units.
Google handsets will hit the global market in 2008, noted the component makers.
The Google handset will support Texas Instruments' (TI) 3G platform and EDGE, pointed out the makers. The handset, however, will not feature GPS functionality. The device will also feature built-in G-mail and Google search.
Industry watchers expect Google will first partner with European telecom provider Orange for the launch of the handset. Google also has been in touch with other service providers for orders, noted sources.
Handset component makers indicated that Google handsets will adopt dual brand (Google and the telecom service provider) but will not have an HTC logo on it.
HTC declined to comment on the report.
