Total evidence offered for YAGTR (Yet another Google tablet rumour): 0. Plus given that Google just got out of the phone handset to consumer business (because, frankly, they suck at any product that might require end user support), how likely are try to jump into another end user hardware sale/support setup?
> No, my source tells me it's Google hardware -- like the N1.
I'm assuming handset support in the US is the same as the EU, where for smart phones, you normally deal with the manufacturer, not the carrier ( i.e. If my iPhone or iPad breaks, I call Apple - not O2).

The iPhone is unique in that aspect, support is almost always done through the carrier in the US. Probably because handsets are almost always sold subsidized through the carrier (and frequently customized for them).
