A new, perhaps not-so-rumor, is fanning the flames of the iPhone buzz. According to CNET, a recent call by one of their staffers to Cingular/AT&T customer support revealed a June 11 release date.

The expected launch date coincides with Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco from June 11 to June 15, and is a few days earlier than the recently rumored June 15 release date (which was proven to be false).

Though the issue still isn't exactly black and white, it seems that Google has put the Google Phone rumors to rest - for the time being.

"Mobile is an important area for Google," said a spokeswoman from Google named Erin Fors in a statement last week. "We remain focused on creating applications and establishing and growing partnerships with industry leaders to develop innovative services for users worldwide. However, we have nothing further to announce."

Makes sense, doesn't it?

The rumor mill continues to churn regarding Google's venture into the mobile phone market. We've heard it called the GooglePhone, the Google Switch, and the GPhone. There have been rumors of Google partnerships with Sony, Nokia, and Samsung and of carrier releationships with Verizon, Cingular/AT&T, and T-Mobile. As time goes by, the likelihood of some of these rumors becoming a reality is increasing.
