The idea that Google will go up against major mobile phone vendors such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung is falling out of favour, but analysts are still coming up with ideas about what the search giant may be planning for the telephony market.

An Investor's Business daily story quotes Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates as saying "A Wi-Fi phone makes more sense to me."

"I could see them put out a phone with VoIP and a good Web browser, then make money through search-based ads like they do now on desktops."
