Google phone official. Honest-to-goodness.

Apparently all the speculation is confirmed.

Google will come out in mid-2008 with a mobile phone platform that incorporates a variety of Google online services and lets outside developers create applications, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

I like the fact that Google is coming right out and saying they are letting outside devs in from the get-go. Obviously a shot at Apple, but let’s face it: Apple set themselves up for that one.

When asked about the complex and competative world of mobile technology, Marissa Meyer made this brilliant statement.

“The mobile space is very complicated,” she said.

We bet.
