LG to Release Google Phone Next Month
LG Electronics said on Wednesday that it has signed a contract with Internet giant Google to build a line of mobile phones with built-in Google services. The phones will allow users to easily access Google's Internet search, maps and email services while on the go. They will also be able to snap photos with a built-in camera and upload them to Blogger.com, a blog site operated by Google.

The phones will feature a Google icon to allow email access with a single click, LG said. The first Google phone will be available next month in North America, Europe and Asia. More than 10 models should be out by the end of this year.
