Google have delayed the launch of the much awaited Gphone because of handset issues. The Gphone or Android as what others are calling it, is  a mobile phone/smartphone powered by an operating system Google has helped design.  It  is initially scheduled for release in the second half of the year, but it is more likely to appear in the fourth quarter.  Since Google has contributed to the operating system, a group of around 30 different partners have collaborated on the development of Android through the Open Handset Alliance, a multinational alliance of technology and mobile industry leaders. Meanwhile Google is continuing to woo software developers who, it hopes, will make applications that owners of Android handsets can download from the internet.
