Google may jump into mobile phone game

Google Inc., owner of the most-popular Internet search engine, may introduce software to run mobile phones within the next eight weeks to promote its e-mail and mapping services, an analyst said.

The operating system would allow the company to partner with a mobile-phone manufacturer, Piper Jaffray & Co. analyst Gene Munster wrote in a report today. He said he isn't expecting Google to build a handset or create a Google-branded phone.

"There has been increasing chatter surrounding the launch of a Google phone, dubbed the 'Gphone,"' the Minneapolis-based analyst wrote. He has an "outperform" rating on the stock. "We believe the rumors are partially true."
