Taiwanese handset maker HTC is expected to ship about 50,000 cell phones by the end of this year that use a mobile operating system from Google, according to a Fortune article that cites a report from a UBS analyst.
The article says that the phones won't be for sale until next year; the initial shipment will go to developers, according to analyst Benjamin Schachter. Google is likely talking to other handset manufacturers, he says.
Google has declined to comment on rumors of its phone plans. Google is hosting an analyst day on October 24, and Schachter expects the company to talk about its phone strategy then.
