Not just a GPhone but a Google mobile OS?

Rumours surrounding the existence of a phone from Google and the potential imminent release of the coined GPhone are widespread. Today, I came across a new one, the rumor that Google has been working on their own mobile operating system for a couple years and are now shopping it around to find the right ODM. Intriguing indeed, I can only hope they've done well since mobile OS's are no picnic. I'm wondering if we are going to see something amazing like what Apple did with the iPhone or are we going to see a software maker dive into the device market and flop hard? What two years ago seemed like a good idea might now like look like a giant waste of time, what with the progression the wireless market has made and all. I hope they deliver a hit, but by the looks of the yucky GPhone pictures floating around I can't see them blowing me away like the iPhone did.
