As if this is something new? We've known Google has been designing and building their own servers for years. They just haven't sold any of their hardware to the general public. In this case the author is saying that because a bunch of Google employees are running around with the same phone that Google is planing to sell that phone. Seems like a leap to me.
Agreed. And includes lots of unexplained acronyms, e.g. HTC, HD2, SKU. I really can't be bothered looking up what they mean; the article should have either said, or linked to definitions.
One thing it will definitely change is the attitude to Google from all the device manufacturers now making Android phones. This is a stab in the back, nothing else. Everyone who fears Android will be fragmented should be concerned.

This could be the beginning of the end for consumer telephony.
