It looks like you might get to see a Google phone after all, and we're not talking about some phone manufactured by some other company with pre-installed Google apps, but about an actual Google phone.

Rumors regarding such a phone have been circulating for quite a while and finally something came along that might support this theory. A recent job opening that was posted on the Google website seems to confirm that the company is actually up to something.

This is what it includes : 'Google is experimenting with a few wireless communications systems including some completely novel concepts,' according to the website recruitment text. "We are building a small team of top-notch Logic Designers and Analog Designers aimed at nothing less than making the entire world's information accessible from anywhere for free."

Does this ring a bell? At the end of last year, Eric Schmidt said : 'Your mobile phone should be free. It just makes sense that subsidies should increase'. Maybe the first quote has nothing to do with the second. But since the company is mentioning that the world's information should be accessible from anywhere, it is hard not to think of something mobile, therefore a mobile phone. Thinking about it, it might just make sense.

Additional qualifications include "extensive circuit modeling and analysis experience, excellent programming skills, experience with switch power supply design" and a ham radio license. With so many companies starting entering the mobile phone market, including Apple, there's no reason why Google wouldn't do the same.

With so many companies fighting over producing a better, smarter and better-looking handset, if Google plans to enter the mobile phone market, they'd better come up with a good enough device, and hopefully not the Blackberry look-alike according to previous rumors.
