Unstrung: The GOOG is Hiring for Hardware G Phone Managers



"The Google phone may not be in the shadows much longer as the search giant is now actively searching for program managers and others to help it with 'a new hardware product introduction.'
The company is advertising the job -- along with a number of other more explicitly mobile-related positions -- on its site. Unstrung was tipped off this week that the company may be bringing more people in to support its mobile efforts soon.
Rumors of a so-called 'Google Phone' have been floating round for months now. Unstrung reported in March that the company was said to have a 100-strong team working on a device in Mountain View, Calif. The gadget would be a BlackBerry-like device that would run Java -- and possibly Linux -- and support services such as voice over IP. These new openings are said to be for the next stage of that work. (See Google Spy: Big Team Picking Up Phone.)"
