Richard Kimber of Google’s South-East Asia managing director of sales and operations and Google’s chief internet evangelist, Vinton Cerf have announced that building out a phone would change Google’s business model.

Google is in the software business and not the hardware business. Barry Schwartz writes on the searcengineland.com based on the Search Engine Room conference in Sydney where it was quoted “At this point in time, we are very focused on the software, not the phone.”

So Google is still going to likely build out more software for mobile devices, possibly a phone OS but they will not build out the hardware.
