Google Shortly To Unveil Gphone Plan?

The Wall Street Journal Online is reporting "Within the next two weeks, Google is expected to announce advanced software and services that would allow handset makers to bring Google-powered phones to market by the middle of next year...
The Google-powered phones are expected to wrap together several Google applications -- among them, its search engine, Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail email -- that have already made their way onto some mobile devices.

They've already patented a mobile phone Gpay system and have reportedly approached handset hardware makers about the idea of building a phone to support and bring all Google services together: Gpay, GoogleMaps, Gmail, YouTube, Blogger, and others. It would be a sort of holy grail device for the Google.
One phone to rule them all? It just might happen.
