Rumor has it that Google is getting ready to release their very own cell phone, affectionately dubbed the “GPhone.”

The Google phone would have few, if any, such restrictions, and would support GPS tracking, Wi-Fi, high-speed “3G” cellular networking and a still and video camera, depending on the hardware.

The Journal cites unnamed sources as saying Google has been talking to Taiwan’s HTC and South Korea’s LG Electronics about making phones that will run the Google mobile OS.

Google may also be ready to name T-Mobile, in some ways the most consumer-friendly of the major U.S. cellular carriers, as the Google phone’s wireless operator of choice.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on any developments in Google’s entry into the mobile phone arena.
