The newspaper says Google has developed a set of specifications for a high-end phone with built-in Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. The Gphone could also include GPS technology for satellite navigation. Korea’s LG Electronics is reportedly interested in building it.

Rumor of the day: Google to launch gPhone in two weeks - Vindu’s View from the Valley - A Silicon Valley Perspective on Public Policy, Business and Technology

What we do know: Google has been working with a number of phone vendors, including Apple, to optimize Google applications. Also, CEO Eric Schmidt said this week that the company probably will bid for wireless spectrum in the U.S. government’s upcoming auction. So that would indicate the company plans to offer wireless service at some point.

Sources close to the development said a simultaneous launch across the US and Europe is expected, and announcements would be sent to media firms in India and other parts of the world. US regulatory approval, which is expected soon, is the only hurdle that Google is waiting to cross, they added. Google plans to invest $7-8 billion for its global telephony foray.

A Google spokesperson said, “We don’t comment on market rumour or speculation. However, Google is committed to providing users with access to the world’s information, and mobile becomes more important to those efforts every day. We’re collaborating with partners worldwide to bring Google search and applications to mobile users everywhere. However, we have nothing to announce at this time.”
