Google with Mobile Hardware Device? (Score 1)

My curious mind has got me theorizing... will Google come up with its own hardware device? They've already made much headway with their platform, and going forward, it might make sense if they'll develop their own branded hardware. Some say it could be a smartphone, or a PDA, or maybe an entertainment device (to go against Microsoft Zunes). But my guess is that this will be released not in the US, maybe initially in Japan. Thoughts?
