World’s busiest search engine intends to make mobile phone, the story was bussing the market. Vice president of product management Mario Queiroz said in a blog post that Google workers were trying out a device that “combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities”.

Technology industry tracker Gartner predicts that Android-based smart phones will capture 14 percent of the global market by the year 2012, as compared with a mere two percent today, according to a report in Computer world. Google is seeking feedback in a process it refers to a “dogfooding” in which innovations are tested internally before being offered to the public on the basis that employees should be willing to “eat our own dogfood”. “This holiday season, we are taking dogfooding to a new level”, Queiroz worte.

“Unfortunately, because dogfooding is a process exclusively for Google employees, we cannnot share specific product details. We hope to share more after our dogfood diet”. The Androud-based mobile devices are being shared with Google workers worldwide, according to Queiroz. The blog post came a morning after Google workers evidently excited about getting “Google phones” exchanged comments on wildly popular microblogging service Twitter. “ZOMG we had fireworks and we got the new Google phone”, one Google worker said in a tweet. “It’s beautiful”.
