Verizon said it will team up with Google to develop and sell Android-powered devices, in a partnership that could boost the Internet search giant's efforts to challenge Apple in the fast-growing smartphone market.
The Basking Ridge, N.J.-based company said the forthcoming phones would be "co-developed" by the two companies and support Google Voice -- an application allowing consumers to make low-priced international calls.In recent months, Internet calling has come into the spotlight as Apple rejected Google Voice from its online app store -- a high-profile spat that has attracted the attention of the Federal Communications Commission. Verizon said it will sell its first Android phones in the coming weeks.
