The 'yes it's here', 'no it isn't', 'yes it is' tennis match of rumors about a Google-powered mobile phone have been entertaining to watch, as yet another source swears on the immaculate souls of Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn souls that the GPhone is alive and on the way.

| GPhone Rumor "Confirmed" Again |
 |
As each Google Phone rumor makes the rounds, you can't help but think Elvis and JFK will show up on the front of the Wall Street Journal texting each other with them.
The latest absolute stone-cold GPhone rumor appeared on the blog of Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins, who says what he's got comes from an inside source at the impenetrable Googleplex, where staffers physically assault photographers trying to take picture of people playing Twister at a party on their campus:
I talked to one of my inside sources at Google today. He spoke on conditions of anonymity, but the guy is someone I trust implicitly. He said that he was baffled at Google's apparent internal confusion on the GPhone issue - that they've actually demo'ed the thing in public before.
He said that the Google (applications) Suite is going to play a huge role in the usability of the GPhone, and the thought process behind it's functionality is less about beating the iPhone and more about beating the $100 Laptop, which provides a huge clue behind what will be the pricing structure on this.
Hopkins has received some flack in his blog comments from people who aren't convinced of his post's veracity. We're much more interested in a Google network that would back a Google phone, rather than the hardware, but for now we're happy to mention another story about the GPhone.
